Question I have knee pain on the outside of my left knee.The pain is severe for a few hours then goes away as quickly as it came.It can go from no pain at all to severe in minutes and then leave again.It started when I was jogging about two weeks ago.I stopped for 2 days and it felt fine.I started walking instead,but it started hurting again.
Answer Kevin,
Sounds like you may have "IT band syndrome"-- caused by a tight tensor fascia lata muscle.
Please see my article on unequal leg length and IT band syndrome at somatics.com/page4b.htm.
This condition can usually be corrected by clnical somatic education, a brain-muscle training technique.
