Hello- I've been a subscriber for over two years. I've read through almost every e-mail and found a lot of valued advice. I have tried almost everything out...
Hello All: If you recall, I sent out a note about a month ago indicating the doctor diagnosed me with ITBS. I ceased running for three months in September and...
Paul, I am now looking for a Ortho surgeon in the Pittsburgh area (no luck in NJ / NYC area) and am wondering if you have a recovery / re-hab / back to...
I had the simple 1cm transverse incision across the posterior aspect of the ITB. The article by Firer describes a back to running program. I did not follow...
Yes, unfortunately. The PF stopped me in 2001; custom orthtics helped my PF to a degree (still have pain in rt heel), but after I had to get the orthotics...

Hi. I feel like I'm pulling my hair out right now, and I joined this group in hopes that someone who has been there can help me. I twisted my knee in a soccer...
Sorry, I forgot to mention that they're telling me that I have ITBS. I was hoping that someone could verify if my symptoms sound right to you out there. This...
Hi all, Joined the list yesterday and read a few hundred posts or so from the past few months. While it appears the majority of people here are runners, I...
Hi Jay, Your comment linking foot problems with the onset of knee problems and ITBS is pretty much what happened to me, too. I received my ITBS after an injury...

Hi Marc, Thanks for the reply. I may have found a better solution than installing a triple bottom bracket depending on how much extension you need on either...
Tomorrow I going for my evaluation by an ART provider. I'll see if he will do an MRI. I don't think I'm having near the extent of pain that you are--I hope...
I had many of the same problems you did. I was training for a century and got hit. I tried everything -- 800mg ibuprofen, Vioxx, foam roller stretches,...

Hi guys, Thanks Steve for all the info. I have seen the treatment site and my PT gave me some stretches. He prefers I don't do any strengthening right now as...

New to this group. I'm training for the Las Vegas marathon Feb 2nd. Two Saturday's ago, after an easy five mile run my right knee became very painful I...
Your pain pattern is inconsistent with ITBS in that the pain occurred after running and you could run 6-10 miles daily after the pain commenced. Your ITB could...
This was a much longer post, but I lost it and that is probably just as well. I went back to the doctor today. This is my second orthopedic surgeon and...
Your frustration is palpable. Having had 3 steroid injections begs the question why do another? The best explanation is your ITB has a chronic injury that is...
Never heard of such a thing nor troubled in my life till 2 weeks ago! Been running all my life (32 now) but only competitively and with a club for last 8...
Hi, I have been following the group emails for about two months - lots of great information and suggestions. I believe my ITB problem is fairly mild at this...

Hi there, I'm suffering itbs also for 1 1/2 years and had the pain 5-6 times during that time. The pain occured first while doing a 5-mile run and came back...
Larry, I must say I'm a bit confused by your post. If it is a cry for help (in the form of encouragement solicitation) I fully get it. If it's just public...
Stretching can improve ITBS, possibly prevent its recurrence and in some cases allow you to resume running in a relatively short time. If you are having...
Hi All, My name is Raghu and i am a marathon running coach for a large US Non- Profit Marathon Training program. One of my runners has ITBS which surfaced...
Hi, I've had ITBS for 7-8 months now and have tried just about everything I've seen in this FORUM (rest, ice, PT, stretching, deep tissue massage, e-stim,...
The chances of him running Napa without incapacitating pain and a very long term subsequent injury is about zero. Right now he is looking at a month or more of...
I had pain just with running but it was excruciating, knife-like pain in the lateral knee area. I occassionally had it going down steps as well. The surgery...
