Hi Raffs, all sounds very good with your treatment. I agree that any improvement is good in this very slow recovery process. I am now using a topical gel, an anti-inflammatory, on my inflamed IT band. I just started it yesterday. There is always so much hope with each new treatment, but along with that comes the nagging fear that nothing will help. Then I have to tell myself to buck up because all in all time is probably the best healer of all. As long as there is steady improvement, regardless of how slow, I've decided that I'm just going to be very happy about it. And in retrospect, stairs hurt a lot less now than they did a few months ago. Keep us posted. It sounds like this treatment might just be your ticket to a pain-free knee.
