IT band issues (I think)?

[Irulan]

I had five years of that type of knee pain, was mis diagnosed,and finally went to see a gait specialist who gave me a prescription stretching program. I would highly recommend seeing a sports specialist to get a correct diagnosis

here's the exact program, good luck.

I had painful IT band issues from running last year, and after learning some stretches I haven't had any problems this year (knock wood). These stretches really helped me: http://www.howtostretch.com/iliotibi.htm

As a bonus, the pictures of the guy demonstrating the stretches are kind of hilarious to me.
