One thing after another.....no luck no cycling.

[i hate hills]

I suspect that I had a similar thing removed earlier this year, after 6 months of rather intimate poking and prodding it was removed and turned out non harmful. I was back on the bike in a couple of weeks and up to regular riding a couple of weeks after that with no ill effect at all

Six months of intimate probing . No quite 50 shades of Grey is it ?
