hi Sharpcatch,

I know you have been examined and the physio thinks it is an inflamed glut min but how did the physio decide? Were there any scans done? Why glut min and not glut med?

It is such a small but significant muscle and in my experience, no muscle ever acts on its own so who is its partner? Which other muscle is also playing up?

Inflammation can take a while to settle down, especially if you keep aggravating it.

For example, your hip might be gliding forwards when it should be spinning instead. Have you hopped on your bike and taken a video of yourself? If not, prop your bike up on a practice stand and film your self from in front, the side and behind. A good technique should mean that your torso basically shouldn't move much...all the action should be from the legs. And then your legs should be pistoning in a straight line, not going in curves towards and away from the centre of the bike...etc etc.

There are many possible problems causing your pain...glut min wasn't the first one that came to my mind
