The World's Tightest IT Band

I went to see an orthopedic specialist, and after asking me some questions, he started feeling around my general knee area. His conclusion: "You have the world's tightest IT band". This is what my doctor told me! Finally, there is something I can appreciate about this injury. The world's tightest...who would've thought? That explains a lot I guess and why I can't just shake this thing, even after a few weeks of rehabbing. He basically told me I don't need him for anything, because I am doing everything I should be doing to get better. Just goes to show what solid research skillz I have. Too bad its taking so long. Bottom line is that I will continue progressing (hopefully) with my run times and distances. Once I can do 15 minutes without major discomfort (already done), try 20 minutes, and so on. According to him, I'm not going to re-aggravate it or do any further damage to slow my progress, so its just going to be nagging for the time being. And thats it...
