Subject: Mid-back pain on the bike? Has anyone experienced pain in the middle of your back (near the lower part of the rib cage ) while riding? I have been having pain sightly to the right side for the past month. I went in for a massage, because I was having issues with my right quad as well. That seemed to help a bit and I survived my 100 mile bike ride a few days later, but the pain is back and has slowly gotten worse. I saw my chiro last week, but that didn't seem to help much at all. I felt pretty good on my bike ride this weekend, until I had to stop at a 4-way stop about 3 1/2 hours into my ride. When I started to pedal again, I had an excruciating pain in my back for several minutes. The pain subsided, but I am worried about my upcoming IM and having to climb hills and be on the bike for 7+ hours!
Not sure if I should continue with the chiro, go in for a massage again or just stretch on my own and hope that it has time to heal a bit during taper. |
