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.
- My chiropractor believed that I had acquired sciatica from muscle
inflexibilty in my back and some leg length difference.
