Iliotibial Band Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Pain Gets Worse with Activity
It makes a lot of sense that a condition like iliotibial band syndrome would get worse with more activity, and this is exactly what does happen.
As people take part in physical activities, the knee joint gets used more, and this can irritate the condition even further. This means that people who are usually active might need to be less active, at least until the underlying cause of the pain has been successfully dealt with. In some instances, long periods of rest might be necessary, which is far from ideal for sports people and people in other physically demanding jobs.
