    I have issues with my sartorius, but mine are cramps rather than sprains. Considering how that muscle is used to lift and turn the leg, I would think that misalignment during pedaling could definitely affect it.

    I believe that is the same muscle I developed an injury in back in 2005. It was an overuse injury from running/cycling.

    Glad you're feeling better! I think once you've eliminated any potential mechanical cause, it's very likely stress.

    I think you'll find ways to cope and work through it ... some kind of "new normal." Perhaps it's an early reminder to take care of yourself even as you are trying to focus on taking care of Don.

    We're here to listen, and whatever else you need, just let us know.
