    Its true, I cant sit on a saddle at all. The pain is coming from the right sit bone. Been puting in some heavy miles latley with big elevations. Also havent really been paying attention to fit and been using a new saddle (fizik Gobi). Last saturday I went for a ride with herz and some buddy, giving them a tour of laguna. We did some steep climbs, with steep techincal downhils. At the end of a dh trail I got back on my bike to pedal, and the pain was excruciating. I toughed it out a bit, but ended up standing and leaning on my left cheek the rest of the ride. Thought it was just a tendon or something, but now I cant even put anyweight on a saddle. The left sit bone is fine, and its not the skin its the actual bone. I did the madatory google and convince yourself your dying and Im seeing stuff about 5 weeks off a bike. If thats the case I guess Im going to have to find a left but cheek saddle because that aint happening. Any idea if it was fit, clips, 1x10 or anything else that could have caused it. I know Im walking into some jokes, so feel free to pm them to me, I like a good laugh. Thanks!

    I'm not a doctor, but if you recently ramped up your riding, maybe it's overuse? Or maybe the saddle too.

    He's just old. He's wearing out. He's that old he's wearing out. (Steve Peat about Andrew Shandro in Seasons).

    You'll be fine in a week. Just stay off your damn bike THROUGH next weekend. Go surf or something.

    Believe me, you don't want to see his black spiders crawling out of his butt, I wear gloves when I spank him.

    You can get tendinitis / inflammation where the hamstring attaches to the ischail bone...... *very* painful....which is pretty much the sit bones we sit and grind on while riding.

    ischial tendonitis / tuberosity


    (this ought to be fun...)

    Haha. Good one finally some humor for a painful sitution. Maybe the change in saddle coupled with the gruesome mtb routine lead to the soreness. I tend to stay seated for prolonged periods of time which I think is bad. Lately I've trained myself to get out of the saddle every hour to help relieve pressure. Happy healing vibes!

    I got one more. Apparently going riding with Chris hertz a LOT!

    Hope u heal up soon Mo. If it is tendonitis, not extremely serious unless the tendon is actually torn. can be frustrating though, i am prone to tendonitis and inflammation and its seems for me to last a long time. Most of my neck problem is tendonitis i think, not the disc so much.

    lol Mo you really set yourself up for this one.

    But seriously, stay off your bike (if you can) like Chris said. That or you can just stand up the whole ride.
