I injured my left leg in a couple areas a couple days ago while riding,
and would like to know if anyone has had similar injuries on one side,
what besides proper stretching may have caused them, what measures you
took to fix the injuries, and how long you waited before riding again.
The first is a strain in the back of my knee, where the calf meets the
back of the knee. I felt a twinge in that area relatively early in the
ride, but it went away so I continued - not very painful, but
uncomfortable when I walk.
The second strain is in the left hip, where the gluteus meets the
thigh. This injury did not materialize until the next day, and started
as sudden sharp pain while I was squatting down. This is not a constant
pain, but only hurts if I place some atypical pressure on the gluteus
while bending or squatting slightly.
Thanks.
