Hello everyone~
I've spent waaay too many hours over the last week reading all the posts! I'm glad to have discovered such an active community. I recently begun cycling, and absolutely love it! I have a trek hybrid 7200 and am having so much fun, except for one issue. I have been experiencing major pain just above my tailbone, mainly when I rise up off of the saddle. It gets so bad that after 10 miles or so I can't really lift myself off at all. After I'm off, the pain pretty much disappears (although it reoccurs if I sit on a stool when I get up). I did try a new saddle (Serfas Women's Rx). It helped a little bit, but not enough. Any suggestions at all? I am assuming that it is the result of a compressed nerve. I am going in for a physical in two weeks, so I will talk to my doctor, but am not optimistic that she will be able to provide an answer. I've researched tons on the web, but have been unable to find anything. Should I go in for an in-depth fitting consultation? Suggestions for saddle type? It's getting to be so that I'm afraid to go riding because I'm afraid of the pain.
