UTI like pain?

Hi all!

I'm reaching out while I wait on upcoming diagnostic imaging and specialist appointments to figure out a problem I've been having for over a month now.

To preface this, I've been riding fairly consistently for over three years. I road bike, mountain bike and commute to work by bike.

I've never had issues with my various saddles or saddle area. I use clean bibs for all my rides and swap out old ones when they start getting thin.

For over a month now, I've been having UTI like pain before and after I pee (please excuse the TMI). This is in conjunction with me passing what I assume were a couple of small kidney stones. I've never had them before, but I sure felt them come out!

That was about a month ago. No more stones, but the pain is still there, sometimes it's worse, sometimes it's a bit better. My best guess is that there's a small stone or scratch in my urethra? Doctors are all a bit baffled because so far no exams have come up with an explanation.

It does unfortunately seem to be a bit worse after I ride my bikes, which is why I've been using them less and less.

Any one who's had similar lingering pain? Any one who's had kidney stones and wants to weigh in with their experience?

I hate not being able to ride because it's such a big part of my life and I'm getting quite depressed and frustrated.

Thank you for reading this far and if you decide to leave a reply, I appreciate it!
