Hi Sara.. I too am a former marathon runner...now a triathlon (started cross-training due to the IT band injury). Swimming is a great form of exercise, but...
The success rate of surgey for for ITBS is actually quite good according to 2 studies. Severing the posterior 1/3 of the ITB after a small incision is made...

Hey Carol, I'm really sorry you're having ITBS trouble, and I guess all I can say is that I understand what it's like! I waited 1.5 hard, painful years to...

It's been a few years since I've read these emails coming into my inbox, or even posted something in regards to my ITBS. Call this a New Year's resolution to...

I don't know any docs in your area (since I don't live near Cincinnati, but I had my ITB surgery when I was 18 (and am now 20), so you're not too young! ...
Hi guys, I haven't written for awhile but thought I would fill you in on my surgery. (San Francisco) I had a 'Z' Plasty where they actually lengthen the tendon...
I'm sorry to hear about how long it's been.. I TOTALLY understand your frustration... I too was at the point where i thought I might not ever be able to run...
I would be very willing to try a holistic approach to this, I just haven't really heard of any...I've had all the biomechanical work done. One ortho gave me a ...

Hello Kate, My question to you was are you worse now than before your surgery? ... From: Kate Chater To: itbs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 02, 2006...
To my knowledge there are no studies on z-plasty; it is a surgery with a rationale not scientific proof. I was offerd it but declined when I read the ...
Well, I'm still struggling with this IT band thing, yet I'm still not convinced this is the problem. I went to the chiro for a 3x a week x 3 weeks treatment....
Hello. The Patt straps came, and I've been giving them a try. The foam back is comfortable against my skin, but sometimes the band slides, and it is...
I also have the knee brace Mueller makes that goes over and under the knee with the patellar opening. I wear it with a smaller strap brace that is similiar to...
... I think these two serve different purposes. The Pattstrap is not supposed to give you support but to stop the ITB from rubbing against the knee. It has...
Hi, George. The knee strap I have is the same one on this page: http://www.sunpowerusa.com/mwhommagknes.html It looks like it would do the same thing the Patt...
... In my opinion, absolutely not! It might even make things worse because it puts pressure over a large area around the knee and it is possible to push the...
I thought I'd add some useful information to the discussion. Here's a link to a page that describes how the patt strap and cho-pat strap (both "counter-force...
OK, thanks George and Jon for your comments and help. I read the Running Times article. I'm wondering if that knee brace thing does the same thing, but...
... How do you know that and now does the wear pattern in the shoes look? Is it different from right to left foot? Is this your affected leg? George...
Both feet have a tendency towards rolling to the outside. My shoes always wear down on the outside, back of the heel, and the left shoe wears out that way...
Let's hear some success stories that don't involve surgery or straps. The worst part of this affliction is that you always hear how bad it is. If someone...
Hi Donna, ... That's what I suspected. I show the same pattern and I was concerned that I had a problem, but after doing quite a bit of reading, it turns out...
I'm a pretty good success story. About a year ago the outside of my right knee started hurting while I was running. It would hurt for hours after the run...
