IT Band Syndrome
IT Band Syndrome (or iliotibial band syndrome) is a common type of knee injury caused by damage to the iliotibial band, a thick band of tissue that connects the pelvis to the knee. This type of injury occurs when the band, which moves from the back of the femur (thighbone) to the front during the act of running, becomes inflamed by friction against the knee. Symptoms of iliotibial band syndrome include a stinging sensation on the outer part of the thigh and just above the knee. Doctors usually take a conservative approach to treatment of IT band syndrome. They usually opt for advising a break from strenuous activity for a period while icing the painful area to control pain and inflammation.
