Sadly I tried out a new saddle on a 58.5 mile ride this past Saturday. Lesson Learned!!! The pain was pretty bad the last 20 miles but the last 7 or 8 had me ready to cry. No matter how I adjusted, the girly-bits were all smooshed up - even after re-arranging and tucking many times. I was in a tremendous amount of pain that day but now 48 hrs later I'm still numb on one side. While I have experienced saddle pain from the girly-bits being smooshed (hence my search for a new saddle) this is the first time I've been left numb from the experience. I'm wondering how long this might last... and... at what point do you actually go and see a doctor about it?
Any help/feedback is appreciated (oh, btw, I'm now looking at demo-ing a Selle SMP Avant saddle in hopes it will be a winner!).
ETA: The saddle was a Terry Damselfly
