a bike fit is going to cost me 100 to 120 euro which i don't have ,but yeah i need to get as comfy in the saddle as possible makes sense ,i have a few hospital appointments one tomorrow and an mri scan next month hopefully they will sort me out.
anyway thanks for the replys much appreciated.
I researched the subject quite a bit and found
Rivendell Bike Fit to provide a different perspective and one I was looking for to give more comfort with higher handlebars. You might also check out Sheldon Brown -
A Comfortable Bicycle
Grant Peterson of Rivendell Bikes says that most people have their seat to low and do not even realize and it can cause joint problem in the knee - Patella and also tire muscle groups faster when pedaling uphill.
Hope all goes well with your medical exams!
