Saddle-sore "all of a sudden"
Hi all,
As the title says, I (37yo male) am having some severe issue currently where after every ride my butt is sore between my left leg and left butt cheek. After longer rides (>2 and up to 6 hours) it has also been quite bad, almost an open wound, making it difficult to even sit on a chair or the couch.
Now I'm not a new cyclist, I already ride for a couple years around 5k km per year, did a bike fit and even an ironman last year with that fit and the same bike (Giant TCR I ride since 3 years) and I never had this issue until the beginning of this season.
My position on the bike has not changed, the issue occurs in both TT and normal position and also with all different bibs I own. The saddle is the same I used last year after trying out multiple saddles (selle italia slr boost superflow) and I'm using Assos Chamois Cream.
I really don't know what to do other than toughing it out right now since I'm training for a middle distance in 4 weeks. It's especially confusing because it is one-sided, no issue at all on the right side. Also getting another bike fit is difficult since those guys are booked out for the near future.
Has anyone had the same in the past? Any idea what I could try or adjust?
