Did you raise your front wheel with a couple of books so that the bike is level?

If not you might be leaning forwards and putting pressure on your you know what's.

Yep, I bought a riser block as suggested. I might try and raise it up some more and see. Do not feel like that on the road.
You could have kicked me in the plums and I wouldn't have felt it haha

I bought a riser as I am spending more time on the turbo due to injury, the Elite one and its about 4cm too low for the same make turbo, in two minds whether to return it or just plonk something under it.

There is a plastic thing you can buy with a groove in it to put underneath the front wheel. Can't remember what its called. @stephec will laugh, I have no doubt.

It is called a telephone book or two.

Phone books are no good, they move too much when out of the saddle. I have popped the riser on top of a Wii board lol

In that case I am lucky, as my turbo does not need a riser.
