I went for a 10 mile ride on my bike last Thursday. Friday morning I woke up pain in my left butt and it got progessively worse day by day. I'm talkng severe pain. First like i said it was in my butt and then I had pain all through my leg. I couldn't turn my foot or put weight on my left leg . If I sat down for any length of time and got up I would be in agony.I went to my doctor who was on vacation and saw a PA who was filling in . She said I had soft tissue trauma.She put me on Ultram. Mobic, skelaxin and extra strength tylenol Just today after 9 days I am getting some relief.
Does this sound like Piriformis to you?
How can i prevent this from happening again. I have been riding for number of years and this has never occured to me .I sometmes ride 30+ and have never had a problem like this.
I did purchase a new bike late last year and I moved the saddle up a bit on suggestion from a friend before I rode .
I also bought a new pair of Specialized Pro Carbons
These are the only changes i made
I hope somone can give me some advice so i don't have this painful experiance again
On a scale of 1to10 this was a nine!
