Sorry to here this, hope they get you sorted, I would encourage you to to get the bone density checked.

I am increasingly wary as cycling pulls resources from your body that can diminish bone strength.

Many articles cite lack of strength training can lead to this as we age, many of us have a predisposition or develop one creating a perfect storm, snap, crackle, pop.
