Great news - hang in there! This too shall pass, and will eventually be forgotten. I remember when I had a bad bout of ITB syndrome back in 2003, I think it was, and had to lay off the bike for many weeks, eventually coming back very slowly. Now that seems like another life; I can barely remember it. In the overall scheme of things, what you're going through now is but a blip. Not trying to minimize your pain or frustration, but there are many more rides in your future!
