Sit bone bruising - thoughts?
Hi all,
I'm sure this has been asked many times before but i just wanted to get your thoughts. Ive been using the same saddle for about 4 years which I've never had any issues with. Ive done plenty of century rides without any discomforts whatsoever.
Recently I've managed to bruise my right sit bone which makes sitting on the saddle really uncomfortable. I'm not sure how I've done it, maybe I've knocked it but I don't believe its down to the saddle. I do have a really worn cleat on by right shoe which could be making me put more weight on that side as its slightly uneven?
I was basically wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so how long did it take to heal? I'm currently taking a few days off the bike to see if that helps.
As always thanks for your help.
