My side of the knee or the part of the ITB that is hurting as I'm figuring out was really screaming today. i walked some. I even stretched some. I'm going to do some abductor exercises and see if that helps. I was doing some stretches a few months ago that seemed to help but when the pain went away so did the stretching.

So please FRB friends...if in the future after I fix myself this time and I complain again about pain--ask me--April when is the last time you stretched? LOL

Sorry its still bad, April. Wish I could show you all the killer ITB stretches that I do. Check YouTube for ITB stretches. They have such nice pictures of how to do stuff.

I'm afraid I'm not a very good example about stretching. I need to be better about it too.

Thanks Aunt--I always forget about YouTube being a resource! Plus I hate still pictures. I can't wrap my brain around them! LOL

Carolyn-yeah maybe we can form a club! LOL

Hope you can rehab your knee--and hope that stretching will help it!

Did you stretch today? :)

I've found running backwards makes it easier to run with ITB pain.

I did stretch today. I'm stretching now too b/c surprisingly it hurt at work too. Usually that doesn't happen.

JD if it isn't too icy tomorrow I will try running backwards.

I keep forgetting to ask. Does The Stick do the same job as say a massage noodle or a tennis ball on the muscles? Or do I need to go shopping? I have The Stick.
