I have a pain in my hip and an ache in my knee and apparently it is all down to my ITB!!
Don't ask me what it is, but everybody who I ask about the pain justs shakes their head and goes "Oooooooh that is your ITB!!" with much sucking of teeth.
Well I went to my local Physio who got me to lie on my front and without a "by your leave" attached electrodes to my buttocks!!
Last time I saw electrodes used in this way it was on "One flew over the cookoo's nest". I have to admit there was a strangely pleasurable feeling from my buttocks clenching without me doing anything.
Will let you know if it works!
ah bugger..hope it gets better soon.
I found this about it:

And you should be thankful it was only the buttocks..circle over the top of the "u" and miss out the crosses on the "t"'s and it would have been whole different conversation...
