    Hey! My knee started hurting IN THE SHOWER this morning. Just from, you know, the extreme effort of standing. This is ridiculous. Anyone have any advice for IT band issues?

    B: Avocado, banana, coffee.
    S: Apple.
    L: Lean Cuisine, pear.
    S: Cherry yogurt.
    D: Chipotle + multiple beers. (My last exam is at 5pm. :) )

    E: Stretching. Might try to do an hour of yoga tonight if it doesn't bug out my knee. I'm starting to feel pretty antsy.

    katetw: I had irritation and inflamation of the IT band in my left leg, with pain starting in my knee and radiating up to my hip, for over a year. I ran three marathons with it, bleh. For me, the worst position was just sitting in a chair. It was ridiculous: I'd be in class, and my knee would be killing me, just sitting there. So stupid. Besides the usual anti-inflamatory (aspirin or ibuprofen) routine, I found some hip stretches that really helped (just google if you don't know them already), and sometimes I would lie on my affected side with a tennis ball near the insertion point of the band at my hip to help stretch it out.

    This sounds dumb, but what I found helped me most of all was sitting in chairs with my bad knee pulled up to my chest (bottom of foot on seat of chair). I found the position by accident, trying to find a way to make it through 3 hours of class, but I think the stretching helped too. Good luck!

    katew, a foam roller will help (and hurt like a bitch, but it's a good hurt) with IT issues too!
