I believe it was in the beginning of August I began to notice this pain in my hip when I bent it in certain ways. This isn't that bad, I can ride through this? Sure! Anyway, it just got worse. After a while I stopped thinking of how cool it would be to complete a trials line, but rather how much pain it would induce, but that did not really stop me! At least not in the beginning. I decided to take a break and I saw a chiropractor who suggested that exercise was good for my back. So I was right back in my trials park and this time I was using anti-inflammatory drugs to keep the pain down. Two weeks ago my brother convinced me to stay away from unicycling for a month. I stayed away from unicycling for two weeks, that's pretty much my record! My birthday was coming up and well, I had to go for a birthday ride, and the next day there was snow outside for the first time and I easily got 4 hours of riding in or so. And I really had to practice my seat out hopping too. And now after four days of riding I'm pretty much back where I started. Sigh.
1. My chiropractor believed that I had acquired sciatica from muscle inflexibilty in my back and some leg length difference.
Sorry to hear about the pain, especially that it seems to be aggravated by uni'ing. I am leery of chiropractors, especially with the classic 'difference in leg length' diagnosis. Not that I know anything about the practice.
Sounds like good advise from your brother. Glad that your back on the wheel.
