Jett 130 and Zero and sit bone LUMP

Thanks so much you guys. I really appreciate the input. I will make an appt with my doctor, and see what she says.

Knot - out of curiosity, how "major" would the avulsion issues/symptoms be?

Well, there'd be some bleeding. (are you still on anticoagulants?) The muscle would be inhibited. (which would lead to more imbalances and more irritations and more compensations) Depending on the size of the avulsion the chip itself might be sawing on soft tissue, causing your body to be inflamed there, and oh.... making a big lump. You'd also be in a lot of pain and probably unable to sit without more pain.

Definitely time to pay a friendly visit to the doc.

Once the problem is isolated the next step is figuring what the cause was in the first place. Without a trauma (did you crash? is it the older saddle?) to the ish tub, the likely root cause is an imbalance of forces acting on the ish tub.

So this is a good reason to do some real riding with us. Mtbiking gets you off the saddle!

Briones tomorrow - 180 ft/mile climbing.

Again - thanks so much for all the info, researching, etc. I am thinking it is not a trauma (because there was none - unless there was something after a bottle of zin that I just don't recall) but the whole imbalance/ramping up too soon business. I am going to go to a PT bike racer friend after I see my doc.

Knot thanks for the avulsion details. Remote as it was, from the "they never do 100% O2 sat if they have a PE" kid, it was worth asking.

And I have been off anti-coags since Christmas. About a week or 2 before I got back on the bike.

I wonder if the problem with my left side is from relying on my right side too much?

I'm going back to my original saddle..
