Running after swimming. felt really good for about 4 miles and then the ITB flared and I am back to square one again!

Walked in the last mile, and was pretty sore the rest of the day. Back to icing and massaging for another week!

this really BLOWS!!

Dang! Sorry to hear that man. This sucks. Hang in there.

Is it just the IT band or is it irritating your knee as well?

IT and it slowly goes towards the bottom of my knee. Sharp burning sensation, makes it unbearable to run.

Sounds frustrating. I don't know of any magical solutions but I have heard that PRP (platelet rich plasma) injection therapy can be effective. http://www.jockdoctors.com/page.asp?id=19&name=PRP%20-%20Platelet-Rich%20Plasma%20Therapy

Only problem is that I don't think many insurance companies cover it.

On the bright side it seems like now is the best time of the year to take some time off from running. Good luck!

Thanks Fritz I will look into it. Hopefully I can figure something out soon.
