I've had chronic Prostatitis for about a year and a half now. I'm constantly theorizing about what is causing it, and I wanted to run this by all of you.
About a month before my symptoms started, I bought a 6-speed manual Camaro Z28. It has a pretty high effort clutch. The first symptoms I got with the CP was pain in the testicles followed by an ache in the left butt cheek. I still get the pain in the butt cheek sometimes, but now it is more in the vicinity of the tailbone. Plus, I have had more pain in the left testicle than the right. I've never had the pain in the right cheek. Of course, the clutch is operated with the left leg. So I'm wondering if the use of this clutch might be a factor in the CP? It seems pretty coincidental. I have the car for sale and plan on getting something with an automatic, or at least an easier clutch. Guess I'll find out if there is anything to my theory.
Thanks
Could this be a cause of my problems?
