my IT band hurts from cheer practice..
im in cheerleading, and a few weeks ago after tumbling practice, i started to feel this pain in the outside of my thigh.. like i think its called the I.T. band? anyways, it feels like i pulled it, but usually when i pull muscles they dont hurt this bad, and go away. its been hurting for about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks now. like when i go to do the splits or straddle stretch, with both legs spread out, it hurts to go to the middle and it feels really tight there, and then i can touch my nose to my knee on the other leg, but when i go to that side i cant go all the way down. it sucks because since i cant stretch it very well, i am more likely to pull even more muscles! could this be it band syndrome or what? i will get it checked if it continues to hurt. thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
It's very likely that you strained the muscle, possibly tearing, and more stress on it is making it worse. IT Band Friction Syndrom would have pain over the lateral knee, by your joint line, and an increase of pain when running downhill, knee flexion and extension. You should see an athletic trainer if possible to get it checked out, otherwise there could be lots of problems down the road. Good Luck and maybe try to work on strecthes, only to where you can feel it, not where it is causing you pain. And some strengthing exercises.
