<\/a>ITB FRICTION SYNDROME (ITBFS)<\/h3>\nThe pain in ITB friction syndrome is rarely within the ITB itself.\u00a0 It is more commonly caused by inflammation or irritation of a bursa on a bump on the thigh Bone (femur). Bursa\u2019s are lubricating sacks that help to reduce the friction between a tendon and the bone.<\/p>\n
Excessive compression force from the ITB as it slides past the bursa during gait can cause trauma to the Bursa triggering the injury.\u00a0 This usually happens just after footstrike at about 20 degrees of flexion.\u00a0 The pain from ITBFS can be sharp and intense or aching.\u00a0 It will usually not warm up as you run but get worse the longer you go.\u00a0 Downhill running with its increased impact forces are more painful than running on the flat.<\/p>\n
