Been cycling for almost a year now, during which time I've had a hernia which has not bothered me on the bike until recently. In fact I took it up because swimming and other stuff was uncomfortable and wanted to keep active. Anyhow, it's been more or less stable, but since Christmas it's started getting bigger fast and giving me a bit of pain in the side while riding.
I have started riding faster in the winter, so I'm not sure if that's done it - too much standing and yanking on the bars - it may just have started to go anyhow. Anyone else done much riding with one? Did you take it easy or manage to carry on as before? Do belts/trusses do any good?
ofc I would like it operated on but have been told it's not bad enuff yet a couple of times now, next appointment with a surgeon is in August. I'm thinking with summer inc if I can just not aggrivate it till then then at least an op won't wipe out the summer.
