Specializes in Urgent Care

See your ortho doc: Decrease mileage and make sure you stretch and warm up. Use ice on painful area.Get a physical exam to diagnose exact cause of your pain. IT Band Syndrome is very common in runners, you can learn stretches to avoid this pain. Rest and work on flexibility and strength + see your sports medicine doc to treat bursitis given your bleeding risk. Exercise every day. See link: http://tinyurl.com/zp7zwcl
