Well, I've been exercising but being very careful not to do anything that stresses the IT band area - stayed away from squats and no running. Also been strengthening and stretching that area. It's been a week and I worked it for the first time today. I did a DVD that includes lunges, suicides, minor squat action and a lot of plyometrics. It felt fine. First run tomorrow. I am SO NERVOUS!!
