Hi Michael, thanks for taking the trouble to reply. The pain is right 'in' the joint of my left hip, but on the outside and maybe a bit to the front if that makes any sense. It is a sharp sudden thing rather than a dull ache. It is rotation that hurts it, its most noticeable when i try and play football, or kick with my left leg. The kicking motion you make when swimming breastroke also hurts. But like I said, cycling feels fine and I barely notice it, walking, climbing stairs etc is also all fine. I had one physio session a month back and I have another on thursday; they gave me some stretches to do, but it feels like taking some time off the bike over xmas has helped it heal some, which makes me think its cycling-related rather than football or something else. I have adjusted my saddle height following the 109% rule and it may well have been ridiculously high before--but again, it felt comfortable. I've got a feeling i was sitting too far forward on the saddle in order to compensate for the height though... Anyway, be really interested to hear what you think, props to your knowledge and helpfulness good sir. Ben

Was wondering if it might be something like that as it is quite high... thing is it feels fine when i'm riding, it's more off the bike stuff and sudden twisting that hurts. Anyway i'll lower it and see, thanks.

Hi Mr Rip,
Have you got any ideas or knowledge about iliopsoas/gluteus media problems in relation to cycling? My left hip has been giving me jip for about 6 months now, could it be something to do with overuse or bike set up?
Cheers
I passed by about 8am. Cops diverting traffic from that section of road, ambulance waiting (with no lights flashing) and a bike was leaning on the side of it. Bike didn't look in bad shape.
That bit of Queensbridge is a fucker. Blind hill, narrow lanes and and always long lines of traffic.
