So I've had this chronic hip pain for a few years. Been to the orthopedic doc and had plenty of Physical Therapy, they said overuse and one leg is slightly longer than the other. Since last year the pain has gone to my lower back and the front of my quad. I was told Psoas/hip flexor. I also have regular shoulder and hand pain. I stretch and stretch. I do yoga and strength training. Went to see a new Chiropractor. He suggested I get a bike fit. The shop I bought the bike from did that but only made a slight adjustment. I then decided to spend the money and go to a really high end bike shop. NOW I find out my handlebars are actually too wide, too big? And the height of the handlebars was wrong also. How did my LBS miss that? I mean I love these guys, they have never steered me wrong! I was also told my seat was actually too high and was not at the correct angle. So for years I've ridden this way? I'm anxious to get my bike back with the new handlebars, and other adjustments. I'm hopeful that my pain will stop.
I'm just bummed that the regular guys didn't suggest this.![]()
