I saw the Dr. yesterday. He prescribed Indomethacin, a strong NSAID. It seems to be helping. I haven't tried to ride the bike again (I thought I'd give it one day's rest.) I'll be on it for about 10 days. I'm also stretching the IT band as well as trying to get it loosened up by using a rolling pin on the floor. I doing quad stretches also. I hope this solves the problem.
