Hi, I am an 18 year old female college athlete, I am a soccer player and a
long distance runner. I have had ITB pain for 18 months now. I have had a
total of 11 months of physical therapy, cortisone injections, and rest
periods with no luck. My symtoms will ease for a week when I start therapy
again but then they come back just as bad. My surgeon said that the next
step is surgery. I am a little anxious about this becasue I need to be back
conditioning as soon as I can because 2 and a half months after surgery my
team is playing over in Europe, and I need to be in prime shape. I was
wondering if anyone knows the success rate and it there was a high number of
problems with this surgery.
