I am now in week two of 8 weeks of Physical Therapy. I have IT Band syndrome. I have about 6 stretching and strengthening exercises I have to do 2x a day - as well as attened PT 2x a week. The muscles in my right hip area are weaker than my left, so my knee turns in when I run, which caused the IT band pain. So now I have to strengthen it so that my right and left sides are equal. I am going crazy though. I want to run, I have been going through runners depression, the daily endorphins I used to release are no longer there. I am told I may be allowed to run a mile or two by the end of next week. Good thoughts!
