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.

Can you give me any information as to why those muscles are still feeling sore and if this will affect my training long term? I'm planning on doing a full Ironman in 2016.

I started playing basketball three times a week in addition to running and biking. Now, whenever I run any distance, the next day, I can hardly sit in my chair at work.

I get a very bad shoulder pain (left side only) when on the bike for over 45 minutes. The pain seems to be between my shoulder blades but only on the left side.

Ever since running that marathon I have been experiencing stiffness and discomfort in my left foot, from the fourth and fifth metatarsals to about my mid foot.
