Over the last five years or so hip pain is becoming more and more of a problem. About an hour into the ride my right hip gets achy and tight. I have to either let my right leg hang off the foot peg, stand on the pegs for a while or just pull over and walk around until it's better. If I push thru and keep going it just gets worse and will become so bad it takes days to subside.
I'm 55 and currently riding a 2007 RT with a Russell saddle and stock bars and pegs. I've had the RT just over two years. My previous bike was a R1100RS and the hip problem was there as well though to a lesser degree. Sitting crossed legged on the floor playing with grandkids aggravates it the same way. I have to get up and move around. No problem with a normal chair, couch or car/truck seat.
Any suggestions for exercises or PT of some kind to keep it from happening? I've resorted to taking mobic or ibuprofen before a long ride to try and head it off.
Thanks
