Sitting on a bike seat is different as you sit more on your prostate area than your butt cheeks.
I do not want to turn this in a medical thread but know that we have many members my age (63) or close and it is a mans problem when you get older.
To take care of all the wear of years of use I also asked if they could do an extension but no luck !!!
Houtman, have you heard of the Airhawk R?

Maybe it can help you going forward. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Omg!!!! Houtman... no bike riding is worth medical complications... especially like what you've mentioned. Man... put the trickle charger on it and get out the bike cover. It'll be there when you're good and completely healed. Bottom line... the wife and the doctor win on this one!! Good luck and heal well.

Houtman, I had a kidney stone procedure that went bad last year and the emergency surgeries were a nightmare as it turned out I had a large prostrate (ignorance was bliss). The recovery was brutal due to prostrate issues, not the kidney stone. I too will need the Turp. It takes months to heal so take it easy for goodness sakes. The bike will be there when all better and able to ride.

Houtman,
Prostate problems are the pits. I'm younger than you and no longer have one. Take it easy and get well before stirring it all up again.

Thank you for the support and guys do not ignore difficult peeing !
The suggestion about the Airhawk was great and I never thought of putting this on my seat,I have one and did not use it !!!
Perhaps I also need a brain scan to see if there is any functional tissue left in my scull.

Great suggestion! I love mine; I just put it on last night getting ready to head to Daytona tomorrow. It makes it so much easier to ride for days at a time. And it has a minor side-benefit of giving you a bit under an inch of extra seat height, so the legs are a little straighter.

Spaceman, that sounds good. How's the hip?

It's just amazing. I'm riding my bicycle daily, motorcycling is fun again, no horrid limp. Amazing.
Almost as amazing is Remecaide. I've had RA since my late 40's, and this stuff has knocked it back to almost nothing. I had my first dose last Friday and I feel as happy as a schoolgirl.
I can't wait to get to Daytona and do some new damage!

Great news, mate. I'll be looking forward to the damage report.

Glad you are keeping a good sense of humor out of this. I wish you a fast recovery, and remember "Patience is men greatest virtue". Not sure where I heard that one from.
