A member asked:
What should i do about my lcl strain? my it band is tight.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest, ice: For the iliotibial band tightness, the key would be specific stretching exercises, an lcl sprain would be treated with ice, rest and limited activity. The sprain will likely take 4-6 weeks to heal.
