Good shorts?

[stephbc]

My husband is having horrible pain on his left sit bone when we've been out for a few hours. He has a suspension seat post and a nice Koobi saddle. I don't know what else to do so maybe it's his shorts that are the problem. Though it seems odd that it would only cause pain on the left side.

Anyway, if any of you have suggestions or ideas or just know of good shorts, we're willing to try anything. I don't want to have to start riding alone!

Thanks!

Could it be sciatic nerve pain? I recently doubled my class load and quickly developed a pretty severe pain in my rear on one side. Worse at glut but also ran down hamstring. I got rid of it by lots of open hip (extension) work right after each class. Just walking on a treadmill and emphasizing hip extension after all that hip flexion did the trick.

Good luck!

I would try ibuprofen and rest. There is likely a medical cause for this including sciatica, a deep abcess or a muscle pull deep in the groin. If the pain returns, see a doctor.
