My ITB started as an itch. Itch starts normally after about 10km.

[Slowbee]

Nope

 

well not yet ............

[leet22]

Usally only starts after I get home Hope its not ITB

Had ITB release operation 16 years ago. (road running)

Saw my Dr 4 weeks ago. Cortisone injection sorted pain out but itch is still there.

I am doing a lot more cross training and stretching - seems to help.

is it sore when you put pressure on it ? (Use thumb)

I have had ITB when running for several years and have only gotten through it by stretching exercises.

 

I have MTB'ed for 3 years without any ITB .. until recently when I bought new MTB shoes, suddenly its back. I have tried checking cleat alignment and all seems OK, for now I stretch & pray.

 

In all that time I have never had an itchy sensation associated with ITB.
