Hi, runner and cyclist here.
Started experiencing some hip pain on the lateral outside. Best I can tell it mirrors lots of ITB band videos as the 'top' of my itb band. I can 'palpate' the pain. It happens when I rise from bed or go to standing. I rarely feel it walking/running - in fact never running. It is sharp and sudden, but quickly subsides.
I've found all sorts of contradicting things as for the best course of action to keep this in check. I've found things that claim for instance 'clam shells with band' are good - then others that insist on weighted squats and that non weightbearing activities like clam-shells are useless.
I have no knee pain from this - just at the top of the itb band pain.
I've considered it may just be over use - but I'm only running 15-25miles per week, cycling 30-60 miles a weeks and I do a couple of crossfit metcon workouts (I usually stay away from more weight than the bar only)
Thanks for thoughts.
