Hi! I'm new to this group, and am so happy to have stumbled across it! Here's my situation: I recently started running again after recovering from a femoral...
after having read the last few thousand posts, i'm more convinced than ever that i need surgery. i'm in PT at jefferson hospital (philly) and i really don't...
Hey Tara, I also have tight a tight IT band on my ride side, also tight tencial fascia lata, <sp?>. I have been stretching a lot, makes it feel better, then...
I don't know whether this is even relevant to your problem, but before I had my surgery, my tensor fascia lata would tighten up, I'd stretch, it would tighten...
I've been following this board just about since I got ITBS last October and it seems that the majority of what people are posting is sob-stories. To be...
Hi- I could use some help. I have been on the board before as I had a diagnosis of ITBS about 2 years ago. In those two years I have had doctors diagnose ...

As I read your post, all I could do was shake my head. My ITBS started the EXACT same way as yours. exactly. And it's worse first thing in the morning and...
OK, Steve, you asked for it, you got it! I started getting ITBFS in both knees in 1999. The only possible cause was a new job that had me sitting w/my feet...
I don't know how helpful this will be. Maybe most of you already do these things. This was in the paper here last month -- my neighbor just gave it to me: 1....
I just placed an order with http://www.optp.com/ (I think this is the same place you ordered from, Ann--got the link from you a while back.) In the past I've...

Thanks for the responses. I saw a swimming "noodle" in the store for about $4 and bought it to try it out. Has anyone tried these? I found it to be kinda...
The foam rollers are also kinda hard. The pain might be from its smaller diameter. OTOH, if you can stand it, the smaller dia. would make a better deep...
The foam roller is the only thing that works at all for me. It is painful, but its because you're basically using your body weight to massage it. I got my foam...
Tara, It is likely you have ITBS. You have an acute case and need to stop all activity that aggravates it and begin an ITBS rehab protocol once you can walk...
The "neuroma" diagnosis is far-fetched at best. I would find an MD who is a runner or who sees runners and knows their injuries. I have never heard of an ITB...
Hi, I don't have an MD for you but I have ITBS and have actually been seeing a podiatrist for my problem. His name is Nicholas Romansky, he is the Podiatrist...
So I've just finished reading the paper entitled "Quick Solutions For Iliotibial Band Syndrome" by Michael Fredericson that seems to have been mentioned quite...
Hi Paul, Thank you for your reply and your advice. I have printed the Fredericson article and plan to start this next week. I am walking down stairs now...
Is there a link between MP and ITBS? I've been getting a lot of PT and have been faithful to the exercises so things are so much better. I do notice, however,...
Hi again, I posted here a few days ago and did not get any kind of response, all I wished to know is, from your collective experience, can a tight ITB cause...
Hi, Akam. I'm one of the moderators for the ITBS group. On March 2 I approved your membership, and after that I approved 2 messages. The last one began ... ...
I just posted an answer to your question, but thought of something else I wanted to say. Fredericson also says this, and so did my PT. There are 5 muscles in...
can a tight ITB cause maltracking of the patella, because my knees maltrack laterally, making them pop as I bend them. Yes. ********** Thank you! I'm starting...
People who do one exercise most of the time (runners, cyclists) may end up with weakened stabilizer muscles & complications therefrom. Also I want to say that...
Freericson did a subsequent study and found the exercise in figure 5 to provide the most stretch for the ITB. Paul [Non-text portions of this message have been...
The ITB does attach to the patella but I have never seen any literature which attributes patellofemoral tracking problems to the ITB. It would seem unlikely...
