Get To Know The Symptoms Of Iliotibial Band Syndrome

Clicking Or Popping Around The Knee

Many of you will deal with IT band tightening as time passes. This is what happens when it's inflamed for a little while! Ladies, having a tight iliotibial band can get quite painful. It's responsible for most of the symptoms, including this one. Many of you will hear a clicking or popping sound around your knee! This sound happens when you're bending or flexing your leg with this syndrome. You're stretching your IT band to its limits. However, this sound can also indicate many other issues. Ladies, you have to have other iliotibial band syndrome symptoms before anyone can say this sign comes from it!

Butt Tenderness

Ladies, you will get most symptoms of IT band syndrome around your knee. Remember, this is because of the location of this band! That said, this condition also triggers symptoms around the top of the IT band. One of them is butt tenderness! When your IT band is too tight for too long, it's going to result in friction against your hip when you walk and move. Eventually, this friction's going to mean your hip gets a little tender. Shortly after that, you will experience butt tenderness. However, this only happens on one side. It's because you have 2 iliotibial bands: one in each leg!
