Yes, with shooting pains and stuff you need to ease off to nothing or almost no riding for a time.

What is your saddle height from the top of the saddle where you think you sit to the pedal when the pedal is furthest away from you? What is your leg inseam from snug in the crotch to the floor. Shoes or no shoes unless you wear stilettos or platforms. In that case be shoeless <grin>

As much as I don't like formulas and other things to say what your position should be, I do have to admit that 109% of my inseam works pretty well for me on a road bike. (saddle top to pedal furthest away).

Might not be the same on another type bike or stationary bike. For certain on any bike you should probably not be more than that. Less is okay depending on how hard you ride. As I mentioned earlier with resistance set low, I can ride my wife's stationary bike set for her short size for a fair amount of time. When I want to go hard on it, that is when I move the saddle up more to my height.
