I tryed everything and I changed couple of phisiotherapist until I found a brilliant one who helped me. It's taking time and patience plus you need to find the right person. Good luck with the recovery.

So being another impatient "healer" myself, all I can say is stick with the program; this too will pass and you want to be in a position to resume running for many years hereafter. You've got MANY years of runs and races ahead of you - don't worry, they'll still be there waiting for your return!Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495817754999950314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-68041966250845368142010-05-10T16:06:50.177-04:002010-05-10T16:06:50.177-04:00I thought I was dealing with ITBS (as did my prima...I thought I was dealing with ITBS (as did my primary care and then a knee sports medicine ortho) and after no progress with all the usual treatments I pressed for an mri. The MRI showed 2 seperate stress fractures.

I have been having problems with that for a while now and can only run 3 miles at a time or it hurts like hell. Even hiking over 3-5 miles makes it hurt like a bugger? <br /><br />I hope you injury heals soon as I know you are so looking forward to racing season this year. I will cross my fingers for your speedy recovery!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539583838978744802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-20383390809811405492010-05-08T16:00:17.165-04:002010-05-08T16:00:17.165-04:00Dan, my ITB was 3-4.

I think once the band is "damaged" in needs time to heal. For me, that meant 1 week off of running, and than running on trails 3Xweek for 2 more weeks. It will get better. Try to get at least some walks in, if you can. It will get better!Running and livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057835870342142162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-88499204091138436932010-05-08T14:48:08.696-04:002010-05-08T14:48:08.696-04:00ITB sucks.
