Pesky groin injury may scupper my plans....
I cycled for 29 years with severe orchialgia, Matt, but sure wish things had been different at the time (mine had a known cause but was treatment resistant and I saw my urologist regularly). Might be best to wait a week till you see your doc for advice. Wouldn't be good for it to develop to a point where it stranded you and other, perhaps urgent arrangements needed made to get back home again.
I've sometimes had to reschedule a long-planned tour due to unforeseen circumstances. It happens to all of us and can be very disappointing but sometimes better than plowing ahead with/into a known problem.
Best of luck, Dan.
Thanks Dan; good advice as usual.
Doc appointments are hard to get now here in UK. At least in my area.
Calling in by phone results in long waits.... and then being cut off after 25 mins just as you move up to position 1.
So now folks go to the surgery and wait outside in a line.
Opens at 8 am. I was there at 0745 and 6th in line.
At 8 am when doors opened there were 20+ folks behind me.
( I had spoken to the lady first in line and she had arrived at 0730 )
When I spoke to the receptionist several dates/ times she offered me suddenly disappeared from her screen as the folks who had managed to call in, were given the slots!
I bagged my third choice. Thursday 1745.
This thing comes and goes. Before I made my appointment and for 4 hours afterwards I really thought I'd be wasting the doctors time since I had no pain whatsoever. I thought about cancelling it.
But then it came back! And has been with me on and off all day. So I'll certainly be keeping that appointment.
Re my trip to Shetland - I'll not be doing that at all until certain of improvements.
