    I have a pain in the outside of my knee, it hurts to walk or going down a hill or stairs. How can I get rid of this pain and when can I run again with it? What can you do to prevent it from happening or help deal with it?

    Foam roll,
    Physio,
    Gait analysis and better fit runners.

    It took me a few weeks once I started taking it seriously.

    If you are sure its the IT Band, the best bet is to go and get a massage from a physio. This will release the IT Band and get a good stretch on it.

    They will give you foam roll and stetching exercises to do....alternatively, theres lots of videos on youtube.

    foam roller.
    don't increase run distance per week more than 10% from prior week helps avoid this issue.
    maybe takes a month to fully recover, depending on the person.

    We do not give out medical advice. Injuries may have common symptoms but are unique to the individual - just because you were able to keep training with X injury or were out for months because of Y doesn't mean that the same will apply to someone else. Bad advice given here and followed through could aggravate an injury and prevent an athlete making a full recovery in as rapid a time as possible. This restriction is Boards-wide and purposely heavy-handed. So don't feel offended if your thread about a sprained ankle (which you may deem "non-medical") gets locked.
