Hey C -

If you have rested for two weeks and have taken aspirin or some other anti-inflammatory and there is still pain on use it is time for a visit to the doc! The kind of pain you describe could be due to lots of things. There is always the possibility of a small fracture or a problem with the tendons in that area. Best to have someone take a quick peek to be sure.

If you have to rest for another couple of weeks you can work on your abdominal core strength and flexibility (which will help increase your cycling speed when you get back on your bike!).

Hope your are back on your bike soon!
