>>1777819I had to rest mine for quite some time, about a couple of months, while doing the exercises. It can flare back up if the relief some of the exercises provides causes you get too confident too soon. I also took relatively high doses of ibuprofen occasionally to reduce the inflammation and assist things going back into proper place. I could actually feel vibrations from my IT band rubbing when I laid down and worked my knee. It was very intense pain in Oct/Nov, was able to start doing casual exercise walks sometime in Dec, and by around Feb I felt pretty decently healed up but had occasional very light hints that made me fear. Since about late April haven't felt any hints and do daily exercise walks. Yours may be entirely different than all this, but perhaps it will give you some notion of what you *might* expect. Don't leave out the rest though, I'd read it simply could not heal without being kept from aggravating actions for a good period, and it proved true in my case (riding bicycle, for ex, felt fine while actually doing but fucked my shit up).
