Pain That Increases With Exercise

While in the early stages it's common for IT band syndrome pain to ease after a warm-up, as the condition progresses, people may find the pain actually continues to increase once they begin exercising.4Fletcher, Jenna. ‘What Is Iliotibial Band Syndrome and How Is It Treated?’ Medical News Today, 29 Jan. 2018, www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320757#symptoms

IT band pain triggered by exercise may be unpleasant, and continuing to exercise with the condition may make symptoms worse in the long term. Therefore, anyone experiencing intense pain around their knee joints during physical activity should allow their body to rest and recover.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
