I could be completely wrong, too. It's just that I have found that strengthening my core has helped a myriad of aches go away.
I have actually been working quite a bit on my core. It is in better shape than it ever has been, however, I am also riding longer distances. So it may not be in good enough shape. Thank you for the advice... I will certainly continue the Pilates that I have been doing to work on my core.

I also have a fair amount of numbness in the area. My saddle is a Royalgel (RGOGEL). It is supposed to be ergonomically designed for women, however, it does not have a cut out. I am wondering if just moving it forward or back may help the situation? I just purchased the bike I am riding, had it sized and fitted... but the man at the shop was not very experienced. I am thinking he may not have done it correctly. I have already had to lower my seat from where he set it.
