Funny you should mention this.

When I ski and step up (climbing sideways) on my left side I get a sharp stab on the outside of my upper thigh. It's not a move I do often so I ignored it.

Sat. I missed a turn and had to climb 5 or 6 steps to get to it. I was in a hurry to catch up with the others so I forgot about not using my left side. When I pulled myself up I got a very sharp pain. However, it didn't bother me until that evening, right before bedtime.

Ever since that area has been talking to me and it also hurts on the outside of my knee. It goes away when I'm active but the worst thing is it wakes me up at night.

I can't find any movement that makes it hurt, I can still ski-4 days left, I foam roll my IT band and other muscles before I ski, stretch. Ibuprofen and icing helps.

Next week I start bicycling. I'm hoping it goes away before then.

Catrin, does your problem act like mine?
