Landon was working in client services at a large investment bank in New York when he felt a sudden, acute pain in his groin. It had been a bad day, and he was stressed.
“Everything just felt tight,” Landon (a pseudonym) said, and the “burning sensation, with sharp jolts” wouldn’t go away. Sex was painful, so he avoided it. It hurt to sit, so Landon stood at his desk on the trading floor. When his co-workers asked, he told them he had lower back pain. “They’d say, ‘Yeah man, me too’.”
