I have had the same type of knee problem on and off for the past two years. For me it is the IT band and normally flares up when I haven't been stretching it well enough. I also go to the chiropractor and adjustments to my knee help to illeviate the pain.

Stop seeking advice from your friends and families who have access to webmd.com! Go to the doctor and get checked out! If it was a fingernail giving you a problem then do what youd like but its your knee, you only get one set!

Go see a chiropractor. I see mine once every 3 weeks. If it wasnt for him, I wouldnt be running at all.

+1. Get it checked out asap. Might be something simple. If you keep going, eventually, it WILL be something serious.

It may be the only thing that allows your season to continue, this season or the seasons in the future.

Hey guys:
Go to this website and get a free article to treat the knee pain:
http://kineticloop.org/articles.htm
Depends on where the pain is located this can be IT band syndrome.
Or the other symptoms could be directly related to your feet:
Normal foot pronation is allows the hips to unlock the foot in preparation for the heel striking the ground during normal gait, which enables the foot to cushion the impact. Hyperpronation has its origin in the skeletal structure of the feet. It causes the longitudinal arch to collapse and ankle to roll inward, when the foot becomes weight bearing as shown below in the picture. Over-pronation causes the ankles to roll in. The legs are internally rotated causing the knees to track inside the feet (rather than over the feet). This causes the pelvis to rotate forward, forcing the upper body to lean forward. Eventually muscle imbalance can lead to injuries.

Again, before consulting your webmd.com friends and family go to the doctor for real so he himself can tell you what needs to be done.

AHAHHAHAH
I agree---Both myself AND a PT thought I had ITBS a year and a half ago and it was a freaking stress fracture in my tibia. Go to a doctor.

Patient to doctor. "Doc, it hurts when I do this." Doctor to patient. "Well, don't do that."

Hey if you are scared of what the doc will say now, imagine what he will say when you see him in 6 months time cause you can't walk anymore!

As already mentioned, see a doctor as soon as possible because I am sure you don't want this to be your last season. If you have a major injury you need treatment immediately. Don't forget that there are bands and bones in your knee that are irreplacacble and could end your triathlon career. Probably it's a minor problem and it can be fixed soon but you'll never know before you've asked an expert.

Doctor to patient. "How long has this bothering you?" Patient to Doctor. "Oh, about six months." Doctor to Patient. "Oh, well if you would have came in six months ago we would have been able to prevent your torn ligament. Now we are going to have to do surgery.
Go see a DOC.

Perhaps this is obvious, but I'll mention it just in case. See a Sports Med doc, not your family practice doc. I love my FP and if I have allergies or bronchitis, he's the man. But both he and my podiatrist neighbor misdiagnosed my knee pain. Finally went to a sports med doc and she nailed it. I've been pain free since.
That which does not kill me makes me faster...
Well, this winter I was running consistently like 5 miles a day 5 days a week. In about January I noticed a nagging pain sort of on the side of my knee and up my leg a little. I quit training and started P90X and finished it about two months ago the knee pain was no there, now that I'm in full triathlon training mode my knee pain is back as well only this time it feels more centralized in my knee but only on like speed training days when I'm doing high impact. I've talked to friends, no doctors yet, and some people have said IT band? I'm not sure what that is or how to fix the problem. On my race day it only mildly hurts, but I can feel it for a few days. On my distance days I'm usually fine with little to no pain, but when I go high impact etc. I get that nagging pain. Any ideas? Any stretches that would help? Any "OMG your knee is about to blow out!" thoughts?
