...the hopes of running in the near future have actually become a reality!
After some 'not so pleasant' news from the MRI, Dr. Matt decided that he would inject the bursa in my IT band and the outer side of my knee with cortisone in hopes to reduced the swelling and alleviate the pain. After a few pokes and a quick 5 minute test run this morning, I've been instructed to give it two weeks to settle in. During this time, I am supposed to run 30min beginning on Sunday and increase the duration by 5 minutes every other day. If the pain does not subside then it's under the knife I go. Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck!

Two cortisone injections later...

Hey Kummer - I ran too quickly after my injection last year (about 4 days) and it really didn't do much for me (probably because I'm an impatient jackass.) But - the thing that really helped me recover from 9 mos of barely running ITBS was one of those patellar tendon straps, worn above the knee, with the bulgey part over the IT band to minimize friction. I'm back to normal now, after a few months of running with that thing.
Hope the shots do the trick for you!
If you have to get surgery, did they explain exactly what needed to be done? Hopefully the shot works!
