@FaCe-LeE-uS - if memory serves, you work in PT/rehab, any suggested stretches for IT band outside of what I find on Google? Family member is in PT advised heat and stretching.

Happened about 2wks ago, no swelling, but with 2 toddlers, I haven't been resting it properly. Will see a Dr if heat/stretching doesn't lead to improvement.

Are you familiar with Kegels?

hmmm, not sure if this is serious or snark, but I have a response ready for both, and the snarky one is ABRASIVE

please clarify

@FaCe-LeE-uS kegels fix everything from hair loss to constipation. First question. Who diagnosed it as an it band?

discussions over the phone with a family member that's a PT and runs a sports rehab clinic. she said the no swelling part was a good sign that I didn't do any serious damage, and that since I noticed some pain above the outside of my knee in my thigh, that it most likely is IT band issue

heading to the store to get a heat brace for the knee in a moment

right now the plan is to take it easy over the next 4-6wks (was really hoping 1-2wks but I ain't exactly a spring chicken these days)
stretch
apply heat pack for a bit in the AM and in the PM
try to avoid the constant stops/starts and picking up toddlers that comes with parenting if it can be avoided

I like to think of it as jazzercising my pelvic floor.

Awesome! You have an expert. Outpatient sports medicine PT's are ortho wizards. Was just making sure you talked to someone who knew some stuff or saw a doctor. They are most likely right. If there is no swelling then yeah, heats great. You've seen the basic stretches. Take it easy until your completely pain free. The time frame really depends what you are trying to get back to. Timeframe really is gonna depend on how long it takes to get pain free. Once that happens you should be able to get back into things fairly quick.

I appreciate that. I assumed as much, but definitely appreciate that.

The NHL playoffs started at the beginning of April and were over by Memorial Day at the latest 30 years ago. Now the players are so soft they have to have another month of regular season to play the same number of games.

at least hockey playoffs is every other day... basketball is one every 3 days...

problem with hockey is that series are much less predictable and much more likely to go more than 5 than basketball... Rangers won two game 7s...

so point is basketball is much softer than hockey...

 

[TREFF]

Soft, not soft...I just want it over with so it's not occupying airplay on my radio or clogging up my sports newsfeeds. It's been enough already, for pets sake

I don't follow figure skating but the 22-23 NBA season starts like mid-October...they are seeming to drag longer though. The NBA has a play-in tourney now so it is extended back a week but the Finals are always in early June now...like I said I don't follow figure skating though
