Just joking.
More like, Ilio-Tibial Band Syndrome. I am a self-diagnosed ITBS victim. It was only 2 weeks ago that on a long run I had some pain around mile 8. I pushed through the next 2 miles okay, but at the end of my 10 mile run, I was having pain just walking. Wow, I'm young, and aren't knee problems for old people? Here's where your IT band is.
And here's how it connects to your knee cap.
Since you can believe everything you read online, the world wide web says if your IT band is too tight, in combination with other muscles being too weak, your knee cap can be pulled to the side. The unbalance can cause pain. A real bummer.
But, on the good side, I also read that stretching and strength training can cure it. Let's hope! Because I don't want to feel old anymore.
Very informative. I think that may be what my pain was.
ReplyDeleteYou had that pain? You'll have to fill me in next time we talk.
