I hope it's nothing major - I know you've been working for a long time for this.

I think I've been having IT band issues, too. Have you tried IT band stretches? I found some on the Runner's World website and have gotten some relief from them. I hate to say it, but I'm not 100% yet and it's been about a month since this all started. I've only been doing the stretches for about a week though.

Maybe someone else has some other suggestions. Knee stuff is all new to me. Good luck - hope you get it resolved and finish that HIM that you've earned.
