Firstly, thank you again for all your advice. I have spent this past week finding new doctors with more knowledge on my condition.
The best doctor I have found in my area is Dr. Jordan Metzl. I actually own a book by him titled "Running Strong." The only issue is, my health insurance will not cover a visit to him.
My plan is to get MRIs and X-Rays done through doctors covered under my insurance, so when I visit Dr. Metzl I have all the materials needed for a proper diagnosis that won't break the bank.
However, during my appointment with a new doctor this week, I was told I do not have ITBS. Instead the condition I have been dealing with is
hamstring tendonitis in the knee. He did not want to conduct an X-Ray or MRI on my knee.
It was recommended I do strength training and take Aleve twice daily.
Of course, I will be going for more opinions to confirm either diagnosis in my knee.
