Hip/Leg issues
Hi All,
I'm really struggling with a niggling little issue with my right leg that is affecting my rides, was hoping someone may be able to help?
I bought a new road bike back in November which I had correctly fitted at my LBS, now I continued riding through the unpleasant last UK winter but obviously the miles have risen dramatically since March.
For the last 4 weeks, I've been struggling with what feels like a right hip/groin and then during the ride seem to drive a tightness down the whole leg. It doesn't stop the ride or overly affect my times other than a feeling that my leg doesn't have the power it had. After the ride, the leg feels a little tight but not injured as such.
I've been performing a lot of active "yoga" based stretching but it doesn't seem to be improving it?
I have wondered if it's a trapped nerve?
Anyone any thoughts??
