I'm feeling a bit vindicated for my saddle height adjustment. I had my wife help me do some measuring and found after about 4 different measurements that my left leg is longer than my right by about 5mm. This is the 'not right' feeling that kept making me want to raise my saddle.

I'm scheduling a fit appointment where I plan to bring up my leg length discrepancy. I'm hoping some shims will help me out. Since I'm currently getting no pain with my right leg, I'll likely have to add a shim on my right side and raise the saddle a bit to match the length of the longer, left leg.

As you can tell I'm really excited about finding this. I've not been able to ride as much as I want to because of the pain. I have an appointment with a Sports Medicine doctor to go over my issues but I unfortunately cannot get in until Aug 24. I hope the fit takes care of me and the Dr's Appt just confirms I haven't done any long term damage.
