Pain Up and Down the Leg
A common misconception about IT band syndrome is that the symptoms are localized to the knee joint. However, while some people with mild or early stages of the condition may only have pain around the knee, others may also experience painful symptoms all the way up and down their leg.1‘IT Band Syndrome: Treatment, Exercises, Symptoms, Recovery Time.’ MedicineNet, 10 Mar. 2020, www.medicinenet.com/iliotibial/band/syndrome/article.htm#what/is/iliotibial/band/it/band/syndrome
Feeling pain that radiates up toward the thigh or hip may be a sign of a more severe case of IT band syndrome, and those experiencing it should consult a doctor.
