my knee has been injured for three months, and there is no improvement, the strengthening exercises dont work?
i have had lateral knee pain in both knees for over three months now. i have been to various phisios who think that i have illotibial band sydrome. whilst it does hurt mostly at the end of my illotibial band it seems odd that it would be this as even before my injury i regularly did excercises to stregthenthen my illotibial band so am suprised that this is the diagnosis. i am being referred to a ortheapedic, but am concerened that the injury is much worse than anticipated, espescially as it has not improved, despite me doing the excersises i have been given. sometimes the pain is so bad i cannot walk, if i try to run just a few metres it hurts again. i am cross training to try and keep up my fitness but somtimes even swimming hurts. strangley biking is ok, even though i cannot even aquajog without pain. i desperatley want to return to running, and if anyone has any idea what this injury could be i would be grateful for some advice.

1. Have you had an MRI to help rule out any tears or damage? If not, it might not be a bad idea, so they could find out what needs to be done, if anything.2. the orthopeadic surgeon is the person who should answer this for you, answers on this site will only confuse you, and possibly cause worry wait for the Docs report =Good luck chum =
