Knowledge of the subtleties of these less common sources of lateral knee symptoms can help the clinician arrive at the correct diagnosis and facilitate appropriate treatment. Although the iliotibial band ITB can become inflamed proximally and present as hip pain, it most commonly presents at the lateral aspect of the knee and can mimic a lateral meniscus tear. The pain of ITBS is usually localized to the lateral femoral epicondyle, which may radiate distally to the Gerdy tubercle or proximally along the tensor fascia lata.
The ITB is connected to the linea aspera via the intermuscular septum until just proximal to the lateral epicondyle of the femur. The ITB is free from bony attachment between the superior aspect of the lateral femoral epicondyle and the Gerdy tubercle. They initially present with diffuse pain and will often use the palm of the hand to indicate pain throughout the lateral knee.
With progressive inflammation, such pain will often localize 2 to 4 cm proximal to the lateral joint line. The pain typically begins several minutes into a run or after the completion of a run. With continued activity and no treatment, constant pain can result, even at rest. On palpation, there may be tenderness over the lateral femoral epicondyle. Inability to adduct the affected extremity past the midline is indicative of ITB tightness.
Yesterday I did a 4 mile run with no pain until about an hour after. Only hurts when I touch it or sit. What should I do? How can I fix this? Is this IT Band issues? Can I get back to running? From the description its hard to know if it is IT Band pain or not. But since it has occurred after running both times now I would suspect you have a muscle imbalance that is causing you to either over use other muscles or is altering your running pattern which is leading to overuse in other areas.
I would start with the rehab protocol listed in the article and taper back your running for 2 weeks. After two weeks on the exercises listed which should be done times a week then slowly taper back into your prior running over the next weeks and see how it is feeling.
I can walk without pain, but my it band is extremely tight when massaged and hurts badly. My PT said I developed it from a weakness in glutes and overpronation, which I already have specific shoes for. I was told that I cant start running until I train myself to not overpronate and run with my knees out. If you already have shoes to help correct the over pronation I would concentrate on hip external rotator and glut medius strengthening exercises.
There are a lot of tips on how to self treat ITBS in this post and here is a link to a video I did on a different way to help with the tightness. Here is the link. Best of luck. This article and seeing your response to other people has been very helpful. But maybe this is a reality of getting older! Fingers crossed that these self treatments work! Injuries and pain are so frustrating. Sometimes they just creep up on you.
Be sure to address any potential hip external rotation weakness as that is often the cause of ITB pain. Best of luck and thanks again for the kind words. Could this have caused the ITBS? Also I was looking at running a sub marathon. Is this still realistic? It is possible that the change in shoes spured along the pain. Different shoes can affect your running form.
The issue now that it is inflamed is that changing back might not take the pain away right away. You have to work on getting the inflammation out while looking at any other possible factors causing the pain. Best of Luck! Patrick March 13, at am Hi, I am running my first marathon in 4 weeks time in Paris.
I have managed to do 3x 16 mile runs but on my last run, I started to develop pain on the lateral side of my left knee. I gave myself 5 days worth of rest no exercise at all , and this morning after running 4 miles, I had to stop as I could not tolerate the pain. I think I may have iliotibial band syndrome, based on the location of the pain. I have flatfeet and do wear proper running shoes for my overpronation.
However, I do think I need to invest in a new pair as they feel worn out. I am going to focus on strength training, mainly focussing on my glutes. What do you think is the best way to go forward regarding my pain? I am really worried as I have a half-marathon in 2 weeks time, then the marathon in 4 weeks.
I would definitely be sure you have a newer pair of shoes. Also working on the glut medius and hip external rotator muscles typically is helpful. Good luck on the two races. Let us know how you do. Reply Bridget Lux January 7, at pm I am not even sure I have ITBS however I crack my left hip joint a few times a day but recently for the past few months I have had a great deal of pain running down my left leg starting at my hip.
Is this related and should it go away on its own or should I see a professional to seek help? Reply Ben Shatto January 7, at pm Bridget the short answer is yes. ITBS pain can go all the way down the leg and even cross the knee joint. And this kind of pain is never normal. Popping or clicking in a joint may or may not be related and usually that can be determined on examination.
If the pain continues I would have a professional examine the hip. I was marathon training for my first full last December. I am a self-taught runner. The pain came in the middle of my first taper weekend. I power walked most of the marathon. Pain is still there and shows up around mile I have been on the exercise bike a lot to try and keep my endurance up.
I have been working on my running mechanics a lot lately and trying to stretch better and build gluteus muscles something I failed to do before the marathon. Thanks for your time and advice! Reply Ben Shatto January 27, at pm Well that is a good question. I think I would skip the half for sure.
