My Old Trick Knee...

I'm 27, I'm not old... but I can't convince my body to feel the same way.

I played in a frisbee tournament last weekend and noticed some pain in the outside of my left knee.  It didn't really seem to bother me, so no big deal.  Then I go to frisbee on Thursday and played for two hours.  Everything was fine at first, but then I gradually noticed a tightening in my knee.  By the end, I was limping to the starting end zone.  I had to ice it for 20 minutes and take ibuprofen to get the pain to go away.  I did a little research on WebMD and decided that I have Iliotibial Band Syndrome, or runner's knee. Ok, so now it's time to figure out how to stretch, but I'm sure my wife will be glad to give me some free lessons.
