My back problems cause bio mechanical issues where muscles that work compensate for muscles that don't so have experienced some IT band pain which can be excruciating.
This is my experience.

I had the same issue. I focused while riding on proper cadence, and not "mashing" the pedals. I also reduced my mileage a little bit for a couple of days.

It cleared up, and I now try to maintain proper cadence, and the issue has not come back (yet).
