Ow. That sux!
Sometimes I wonder if I should go get a bike fit, if maybe I'm missing out on some great performance benefit without it. But I'm so comfortable on my bike right now that I'm afraid I'd be less so after the fit. I suppose in my case, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Mimi has a good point! I would go back and tell the fitter what is going on and see if they can help you. When I got my new Madone fitted I had pain in my right knee on the test ride. He put the saddle a tad higher and it was immediately gone.

Maybe you should adjust your 'fit' gradually. They told me it would take a few rides to get my body used to my proper fit. Moving your seat 1.5" is a lot. Maybe a more gradual adjustment would be easier on your body? Just wondering if that is an option! Good luck, those aches and pains are rotten to deal with.
