[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - how are things going?  If you're still around?

I just wanted to say thank you for posting your follow up back in October because I found it helpful![/quote]

Not going great at the moment!  I saw the PT for a bunch of sessions (first twice per week, then once per week), during which I was given a daily strengthening exercises and stretching routine, and at every appointment she did massage and ultrasound.  Mid-way through I began doing some slow run/walk intervals on the treadmill, with an ITB support band on my leg and a (non-custom) lift in one shoe to even out my leg lengths a bit.  She checked out my running form, and the only thing I needed to change was to up my cadence a bit.  I started the run/walk intervals as 6 sets of 2 min run/1 min walk (with the run really a very slow jog), and worked up from there to increase the length of the run intervals and number of sets.  I was fine with no pain while running until the day after my last PT session, when I tried to do 6 sets of 3.5 min running/30 sec walking.  Pain started in the 5th run set, I stopped right away, and had pain for more than a week.  Not severe like it was over the summer (it wasn't waking me at night), but grrrrrrrr.  So flipping frustrating.  After NSAIDS, ice, and stretching the pain was gone finally at the end of last week, but I am nervous to even try again.  When I do (Fri or this weekend), I'll be starting back with less running, more walking, and increase even more slowly.  This is crazy.[/quote]
