Amanda I don't know if this applies to you or not, but a year ago I made the mistake of ignoring pain in my right thigh, cycling at my usual 11 mph until the pain got so bad I couldn't use my Theracycle at all for a couple of months. Now I pull back and slow down if I get any strange feelings. Never did find out what was wrong. after one Baclofen pill my leg felt like it was on fire. Be careful. -----Original Message----- From: A Phillips Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 10:56 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Leg pain after using exercise bike Thanks Upright; will try adjusting the height. > Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 11:14:05 -0400 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: Leg pain after using exercise bike > To: [log in to unmask] > > Hmmm....
