Because a fit at a shop is exactly like riding on the road and it's impossible that changes might be needed....No one ever limbers up or develops more strength or fitness that might change the fit of the bike over time.
Look, I'm not questioning the qualities of a professional fit. I'm just not buying that once you get a fit you should never change anything. As I'll explain down below (and in my original post), I didn't get fit and then run home and change it.

Did you even read my post? Let me quote it for you: "I raised my saddle slowly over the course of a 200 miles or so." For me 200 miles is about 3 weeks. Each change was in the 5mm range.

I'm not doubting the fit, or questioning/arguing anything with anyone. I got a fit and after a few hundred miles I felt that something wasn't quite right. I then changed my saddle height over the course of another 200 miles. At the top of this change (only 2cm) and after a rather sprited 70mile ride I developed pain. I started slowly lowering the saddle by 5mm at a time over another 5-10 rides and am still experiencing pain in one of my legs. My saddle is now back to where my fit had it (and where there was no pain) but the pain remains.
I'm ASKING, in the 41's experience, is this a fit issue? Am I just aggravating a one time injury? Anyone felt anything like this before?
