Hello Pilgrims,
I have IT band syndrome which plagued me previously as a runner. I have been walking with my pack to get ready for my April 25 Camino departure. And...it's back! Mostly knee pain on the outside of my knee but sometimes all over my knee. Also radiating pain in low back/buttocks area. It really squawks at me when I'm walking, even when flat. I also feel a weird sensation in the back of my knee. My physical therapist prescribed some stretches and strengthening, but I was wondering if any of you folks who have actually walked the Camino have dealt with this. Thanks in advance for any advice!
