Strange pain from spinning

[Catrin]

I am still experiencing it - and yesterday it was worse. So I am giving up on the new bikes and going back to the old. It isn't, quite, in the groin but more like the upper/inner thigh very close to the place where everything meets. A doctor in the class said that it is in a place where there is often referred pain from the hip and is likely a bike fit issue.

Thursday when it started I switched to an older bike, but apparently it was too late. Monday I won't even look at the new spinning bikes (which are, officially, Spinners!) The older, larger bikes are a different brand, can't think of the name.

This happens no other place, including my own bike. Standing relieves the pain, and it takes about 40 minutes or so for the pain to start. As part of my training I get extra spin time in, starting about 40 minutes prior to class.

KnottedYet - if you see this - does this sound like a fit issue? This started prior to my clipless gymnastics last weekend so I know it isn't related to some odd injury from that - it is on the same side that I kept falling on This is a dull pain, not sharp, but yesterday was not fun!

ohsuzie, my pain ends as soon as class is over - or when I stand up on the bike - but I also have bike shorts on. I have no pain between classes or on Stella, my Trek.
