IT band

[redrhodie]

You're saying it is at the hip? Doesn't IT band usually end up hurting at the knee?
Maybe it's your hip flexor. Mine is tricky. Try massaging by rolling around on a tennis ball.

I felt it in my knee a couple of days later, but it started at the hip this time. I'm stretching as I type (just got back from my ride). It's definitely better than it was last Sunday! Didn't feel it much on the bike today.

I just gave my tennis ball to a dog. I'll have to walk over to the "Tennis Hall of Fame" later where I can always find one on the back street.
