I actually don't get any pain on the bike, but walking around its always a tad sore. Has anyone else got through this? experiences? How long did your inflammation take to settle down? I also took a week off the bike, after the initial injury.

Incredible frustrated. Online there seems to be mixed reviews of foam rollers effectiveness. Is my PT uninformed?
I would suggest yoga classes. Sorry about your frustration but it could be your IT band, it could be your Psoas, your hip flexors, your core. Foam rollers are good. I like yoga for increasing flexibility because it really helps you get into a better more aero position on the bike.
