I really want to avoid having to go to doc, because I know what he's going to say, "Don't ride." Well, that won't happen. However, I know that I will end up going...I am not that hard headed. Thanks again.
Saddles can break down over time. Perhaps your saddle is simply worn out after a few years of use? That coupled with the unusual shorts pushed your body past its limit?

Any doctor who knows anything is not going to tell you to stop riding, at least not for long (obviously if you've compressed a nerve you don't want to make it worse). Get a referral from your PCP to a sports med doc who works with cyclists, if you can. At the least a sports med who can look at the issue rationally.
