I've been off the bike for about 6 weeks and when the symptoms persisted I decided to pay a visit to the OS. Turns out my pain was due in part to the muscle catching on a bone spur. I opted for a big ol' cortisone shot--my first. I was instructed to not spin at a higher cadence and discussed treatment options, including Synvisc One therapy, for joint pain relief. Anyone have experience with Synvisc?
