Exercise : Use your watch to exercise. Let's say you start with 5 minutes the first day, increasing it by 5 minutes every other day. Don't increase if the pain persists. Potentially, your pain will decrease as your muscles strengthen. You may also want to try taking an anti-inflammatory 2 hours before riding. In a week, if no improvement, see an orthopedic doctor.

C an ortho. : A good orthopedic exam & imaging may help. Even if u have a great fit, an internal derangement will still give u trouble.
