I'm pretty sure this is my issue--my main symptom is pain at the outside of my right hip joint while pedaling.

It started hurting on Sunday's ride, so I took 2 days off from riding. I did take a Pilates class yesterday, and everything felt fine. Today I rode really, really easy, but I felt discomfort every time I had to push, even though I used a much easier gear than I normally do on "hills" (I rode a pretty flat route).

Should I not ride at all until it's healed, or is a little easy riding okay? I was hoping it would feel better by the end of the ride, but it felt exactly the same.

I know I should be taking Ibuprofen, but I'm all out. I used some Tiger-balm. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
