Tried to search for topic already about this as I know ITBS is a chronic issue posted about all the time. But, has anyone ever had IT band problems on the run that were caused from the bike (though you had minimal to no pain on the bike itself)?


More background if you want to read: started having some very low, lateral knee pain during a run 2 months ago. I have had issues with the IT band in the past and this was very similar. Went to PT and they confirmed IT band issue. Have taken time off, done extensive rehab (ice, anti inflammatory, hours of strengthening weekly, stretching, rolling) yet the pain has not resolved at all and is coming on sooner when I do try an experiment run.

During this rehab time, I have continued to push the bike because I never really had pain with it. I had a bike fit a year ago (though it was mostly just someone eyeballing at local bike shop) and have tinkered with the fit on my own since then. Could it be the bike that is causing the chronic issue on the run even if I don't have much of any symptom while biking?

Any help would be appreciated, IM Texas is sooner than I'd like for not being able to run more than 2 miles.
