I'm curious if like me you ignore them hoping they'll go away or if you see a physio, chiropractor, osteopath etc? Any diagnoses you care to share?
I've been experiencing pain in my left hip for over a year now but only when I'm in the saddle, never sitting, cycling or any other time. I don't ride often but it has progressed from a dull ache to a pain that results in me having to get off to alleviate it after about 45mins.
I've been going to an osteopath for 3 weeks now and what a difference it has made. My diagnosis was various issues.. my left leg is rotated inwards, the inside muscles are far too tight meaning my femur is pulled forward in the socket. So I get hip pain from this. I also have a sacroiliac problem on the same side. My foot and knee are both tight and rotated that side but they think all tied in with the hip/sacroiliac problems. And the cause of all these problems is most likely just a tight right thigh muscle meaning my left leg has been compensating badly.
I'm still getting some sacroiliac pain when I ride but everything else feels alot better (the pain was from hip to below the knee) so this shows the femur is sitting more correctly now.
Anyway I'm just finding it all really fascinating, but I realise now I should of gone alot sooner!!
