Hey all- Happy new year. 4 weeks post surgery on the ITB in my right knee. I am walking, climbing stairs and am generally able to do low impact day-to-day ...
Chris, Thanks for your reply. I will look into finding a PT who can evaluate the tight muscles in my hip region. Another symptom i experience is that...
Whenever I start having a bout of ITBS pain I notice the skin on the outside of my thigh seems to burn as well and is very sensitive to the touch. I thought it...
Hi All, Been doing the chiropractor thing with the back, and things are getting better slowly but surely. He's given me some exercises to do. Some basics,...
Hi All, I know some of us on this site have more pain in the hip region that they do in the normal itband knee pain area. IF you are having lots of this hip...
This is a good point, but may be worth investigating even if you do NOT have any pain in the hip area or even if you don't have much pain at any of the points...
Just wondering if any of you ever experience tightness on the outside of your knee while standing?? Whenever I stand for more than 10 minutes or so, the...
... I agree that you can get trigger point pain w/o knowing what causes it, i.e., there's more pain at the trigger points than at the actual site of injury....
Hi, I was just wondering who here had continued to run through their ITBS and has gotten better or has "healed" completely? If yes, how many miles were you...
A year ago I was training for a marathon and one day I was running 14 miles for my long run. At mile 7 my ITBS flared up REALLY bad, but I continued to run...

hi- Mine never really flared up until the very last time i really ran- about 2.5 months ago- since i have been able to work upt oa bout 2 miles before the pain...
Rina, Your doc gave you some bad advice. Running thru the pain, bad idea. If your condition isn't chronic it may become chronic if you continue running thru...
Hi there, As far as running through ITBS, when the initial (bad) pain occurs, just follow the standard advice: stop running for a couple weeks, take ibuprofen...
Couldn't hurt to use the foam roller and/or The Stick, too, and check whether your hams and glutes are tight & if so, stretch them (sensibly). Ann ... From:...
... And... has this worked for you? Everyone's situation might be slightly different. For me, there was no "initial (bad) pain". I finished my first marathon....
I agree that everyone's situation is different to some degree: at least, that's what I generally gather from this message board. That approach has worked for...
I have been an avid cycler for the better part of 4 years. I raced MTB a lot last season and trained for it almost every day. Lots of indoor and out door work....
that is basically what happened to me. avid road cyclist for many years, occasional runner. but when i started to train more with running, i began to have...
I am curious, have you guys tried the Pattstrap? It might be an easy solution to a complicated problem that will allow you to run without pain and recover at...
Rina, I also think your doctor gave you bad advice. I have heard that gently running through minor muscle cramps is ok, but I have never heard of someone ...
I have tried it, it did not help at all actually. tried a couple different brands also. like i said, for me it was the stretching, icing, foam rolling and...
Thanks for the lengthy reply. I have trained though all kinds of pain, but this is impossible, also from what I have read, it is not wise to try and do so. I...
I've also had a very similar experience. When I first began to feel my ITB act up I was told to put an arch support in my cycling shoes and to get motion...
My shoes are Asics Gel-Nimbus VI. I dont know anything about running or the shoes. I had no idea it could be this complicated. I can race in the mountains on...
DC, patt strap is the only thing that will keep your ITBS from getting irritated aside from not overdoing. If you want to continue to run, unless you take 8-16...
... I had the opposite experience: I went running the day before yesterday and around mile 1 I remembered that I FORGOT to put the pattstrap on! I continued...
... I have the same shoes (one of my pairs now...) It does not have to be very complicated... Here is my experience: I have been running for 4 years. The ...
I'm new to the group (unfortunately!). I've had a similar experience as DrT. I trained for an Oct marathon, including a 20 miler, without significant pain....
