I would like to say hi and introduce myself. I have been suffering from ITB since 10/16/05. I ran the Columbus marathon and mile 7 ITB started acting up ran...
Hi, Rob. Glad to hear you're feeling better! I had a series of three cortisone shots for my IT Band. But I suspect that my ITB problems have more to do with...
Thanks for the prompt reply. My biggest mistake and the onset was caused by increasing my mileage to rapidly prior to the marathon. I ran a 20 mile race three...
Your story sounds similar to mine. I had back pain problems due to a disc herniation in L5-S1 in 2002. I ran my first marathon in 2004. I did not think...
Oh, ok. So it sounds like you're saying you over-did it. I'm not a runner, so hopefully others will give you suggestions on that front. As far as maintenance...
Hi everyone. First post on this board...very good experiential stories and insights from others. I developed my first bout of ITBS on Jan 1st this year 9...
My PT showed me how to do shallow-to-deep tissue massage around the knee by using a pencil eraser and massage cream. It's great! You can go really deep in...
Over-use of cortisone can thin the tissues. that's why they don't like to do it too many times in one spot. Also be warned -- if you ever take cortisone...
I think your plan makes sense but with ITBS you never know what will happen until you try running again. Running the mileage necessary for a spring marathon...
I felt better after the cortisone injections but the ITBS came back when I ran more. I would go slow but if you can run pain free 6 weeks after the injection...
Hello group.........I have been dealing with ITBS for over 1 year. I have had shots, pt, active release, graston, ultra sound , custom inserts and I bought a...
I think as you've already found there is no magic bullet for this although the patt-strap did/does help me considerably ... my pain though is where the band...
Has anyone trying using an infrared light to help heal itbs? I just bought on of these lights and have used it for two days. I feel like it helps, my knee...
Heat increases blood flow to the area which may slightly hasten healing but light waves do not penetrate the skin layer. The heat also increases the ...
HI, does anyone have any info regarding ITBS around the hip and down to the middle thigh area? That's where mine starts, not at the knee. I can't run, it...
ITBS is defined as an overuse friction bursitis of the iliotibial band at the level of the lateral epicondyle of the femur. Pain originating in the hip or ...
Paul, I just did a literature search on the NIH infrared LED light and wound healing. There is evidence suggestive of wound healing, and speed of wound...
Paul -- maybe the people defining it have never had it. Since the IT band goes all the way up into the hip, if the band begins to hurt at the knee, a person...
She is right..and i didn't know that people on here were able to diagnose without proper credentials.. ... From: Ann To: itbs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
I have the same experience as Ann -- I have consistent tightness and "crankiness" in my hip, and unless I warm up and stretch the hip thoroughly before...

I think ITBS can cause some hip discomfort. I have had ITBS for 2 years now and recently I notice some pain in the hip area as well. ... ...
I have read articles that state that a concomittent problem with the hip can occur with ITB called greater trochanteric bursitis. I'm not sure (like everybody...
OK, guys, you might as well just delete this message. This is intended for us girls. I always have trouble finding somewhat cute shoes to wear that will...
Paul is an MD, although he's not an OS. He had ITBS & was cured by surgery, stuck around here to help. Ann ... From: carol To: itbs@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
My chiro also said that ITBS pain can be anywhere along the IT band, and that the hip can be involved as well. He even hinted that hip involvement might come...
ITBS is predominantly associated with lateral knee pain according to virtually every literature source I can find. The knee pain associated with ITBS is ...
My problem with medical research is that I think a lot of it is biased to start with. There's no doubt that my hip pain is caused by a tight IT band, and that...
