Knotted & Bluebug - are you talking to Kathi, me, or both of us? I do not get pain on the side of my leg, just a little coldness/numbing. I know what the knee pain is from, and moving back to clipless pedals has really helped - pain can be on inside or outside of my knee, but we know what that problem is - my kneecap has a little tracking problem. Thankfully biking HELPS it and makes it feel better as long as my fit is right

When my IT band flared up, I found out my hip was out of alignment. It took months to get sorted out.
When I quit doing my exercises, the IT band didn't complain but other things did and I had to go through the whole process again.

KnottedYet,
When I had my SI joint issues 2 yrs ago the PT checked me pretty thoroughly and didn't find anything out of balance. He also didn't think the the left SI joint was out of whack, which was the source of pain.
My ski shop has me well balanced on my skis. This was done 2 seasons ago, after my SI joint was adjusted. I'm getting new ski boots this fall and plan to have the adjustments rechecked. I seem to remember the same twinge, although less intense, when I XC ski. I use this sidestep movement infrequently when I ski.
I haven't had any other symptoms other than the cranky SI joint which flares up the more I sit. I can't find any other movement that replicates this pain, and even though my knee hurts it's not tender.
The pain was so intense that it feels like something snapped. Once I start moving in the morning I'm fine all day.
This is the end of the ski season for me. I'm currently at my ski condo 1.5 hrs from home. When I get home next week I'll look for a PT. Won't go back to the PT who missed the SI joint issue and the PT who found it sold his business.
Sigh, I got through the entire season injury free.Last edited by Kathi; 04-22-2011 at 07:38 AM.
