Hi everyone, First off, allow me to apologise for such a long post but I'm tearing my hair out here. So I developed ITBS while out running about 4 weeks ago. I...
Dear Jarla, as far as I know it is right to wear shoes down at the outside of the heel. The reason is that when you walk/run normal, you touch the ground first...
... This is absolutely normal. My shoes show the same wear too (I have normal arches). Almost all runners strike the ground on the outside, rear portion of...
Dear all, as you maybe know, I suffer from itbs since February. I did NOT run at all since then (one exception for 20 minutes, see below), I had PT about 30...
Hi Nora: I have been dealing with ITBS for almost 2 years now, but have learned over the last year, and seeing many Dr.'s that my IT problems are my secondary...
You don't have phantom pain. You have an IT band that doesn't want to stretch. Did your PT person stretch it for you? If so, that probably made it worse....
I have also been having IT band pain since mid-Sept and haven't been able to run my normal mileage since Nov. I finally stopped running all together, it's been...
Hi Friends, I have struggled with ITBS pain for a couple years now. I have done the physical therapy, seen the chiropractor, taken the pain killers, used the...
Thanks for your post Heather. It would break my heart to quit running. :( Judi ... done the physical therapy, seen the chiropractor, taken the pain killers,...
I've read some interesting posts. I thought I'd start a thread where everyone could list out their favourite techniques for dealing with this stubborn injury....
I have a question and would love to hear any and all responses, this would really shed some light on my situation. They say that ITBFS basically affects...
Hello, thank you for your opinions about phantom pain. You said there is no phantom pain. However, none of the persons who answered did not do sports for 11...
Well, I think we should distinguish between injury and chronic condition/problem. Some injuries can develop to chronic problems. From the list below, I think...
George -- Re: ice vs. gel paks. The CDC recommends that you set your freezer at 0 degrees F. I'm not a physicist, but I did find out that ice can get colder...
I'm not sure what I should be doing. My ITBS seemed to really flare up badly the past few days (this morning I could barely walk to work). When I devloped it...

Dear Ann, ... After how many years / months of no sports did it go away? ... I did not get this. So okay I lay on the back, legs staight up, theraband hooked...

Hi everyone, I have taken 1 month off from doing any exercise. Is there anything else aside from running, walking, biking, or bending-at-the-knee-exercises...
Beth- I totally feel your pain. I do. I have been having IT pain for about 3 months and stopped all running for 25 days. I used a foam roller, and a medical...
hi judi, I wish I could run again... but I don't see that happening for a while. I'm actually closer to two months of no exercise. I've been doing two...
Is that similar to a medical massage?>>>> ******** No, I don't think so. The massage guy beat the crap out of my legs. I mean, he pushed and pushed and found...
Judi--- Just what is a medical massage? Is that different than what the PT does when he massages up and down the ITB? Who does them and what do I ask for? ...
