No offense, but I'll trust my doctor's diagnosis and my PTs observations confirming the diagnosis. There was inflamation and the IT Band was noticably tighter on the involved leg than the other leg. I had been doing all of my cycling on my road bike and switched to my cross bike and that is when I experienced my ITB issues. Who knows if it was the bike switch that caused it, but that is the only thing I can identify. I lost two months of cycling due to that issue and I would like to try to avoid that this year. So maybe I'm being a bit cautious by sticking with one bike, but I would like to take that variable out of the equation.
