Since I had such immediate dramatic improvement, I thought for sure I'd be able to run by now, but improvement has been muuuuucccchhh slower since. I am thankful I can walk without pain, and that I've been able to reintroduce strength work. My PT recommended staying off the bike for a bit, which I have now done for one day (elliptical instead), but since I don't think the bike is bugging my hip I will probably get back on soon. The PT thought the hip angle might be keeping my hip inflamed even though biking has never bothered it.
I am also considering getting the cortisone shot...
I've continued my cycling journey and have been really enjoying it! I only started officially tracking my cycling mileage when I got my road bike tuned up and began going outside often, but since then I've had weeks of biking mileage of 164, 225, and 246. I do a few Peloton workouts on my spin bike each week, several easy rides outside, and a long ride outside. This week I'm taking a cut-back week instead of building again since I essentially went from 0 to nearly 250 miles in 6 weeks of biking (also since my PT recommended trying some time off the bike), but before quarantine is over I'm hoping to hit a 300 mile week. Funny, when I initially got this injury I said I wasn't going to cross-train that much, but somehow we return to our "normal" level of activity, huh?
