You may have iliotibial (IT) band friction syndrome. Your IT band is composed of strong fibers of connective tissue that start at your hip (tensor fascia lata) and runs deep into your thigh muscles and attaches to your tibia ("shin bone") with some fibers on the edge of your knee cap. The increase in muscular tension from your tensor fascia lata ("hip muscle") may cause pain at your knee, since there is a constant pull along the fibers from the hip to the knee cap. If overused in this state, it can cause irritation resulting in knee pain.
Do you have knee pain?
What have you been doing to cope with the pain?
Feel free to post any questions you may have.
