IT Band?

I figured out the problem, no wonder my leg is complaining! Looking back at my logs I just realized that I've ridden, lifted weights, hiked, or some combination of the three for the last 12 days in a row! No wonder my old over-use injuries are starting to complain

Yes I am under serious stress right now, from multiple directions, and exercise is my stress relief but that is overkill. I was looking forward to riding tomorrow but it might should be a rest day as well? Perhaps just an easy spin... I really just lost track of how much I was doing.

Hammie and sartorius feel much better today, but quads feel like I rode hard today...I will just play it by ear tomorrow and see how my legs feel. I really don't want to take 3 days off in a row...

Poor you, it's rotten when you get pain like that.

A while back I had severe pain radiating down from my hip down along the outside of my thigh and it was called greater trochanteric pain syndrome!

Took quite a while to finally ease up 100%

Hope your pains heal soon.

Thanks Clock, I think it is improving. While I may not have over-done things in the actual activities, not taking rest days I think caused my old over-use injuries to flare. The hammie is much better and the sartorius is easing.

I hope you are feeling better these days? I've missed seeing you here though I may have missed your posts.

Apparently I've been doing things properly, because I felt MUCH better after my bike commute today than last week I do think I tweaked the sartorius but it is on the mend. Stretch, stretch, more stretching, foam rolling and the massage ball carefully applied appears to have taken care of things.

Oh yes, I also backed wayyyyy off on the weights this week and took two real rest days

Maybe I am finally learning?
