Jenni, I would be carefull with the "running through it" approach. It is not that common, but the IT band can tear if you don't take care of it. Pain is the body's message, that something is wrong. Have you tried water running or swimming? My son is struggeling with ITBS right now and as long as the swim movement is lateral,no breast stroke, he is okay. It will strengthen all you leg muscles. ITBS can be caused by uneven legs. When one leg is shorter it throws off the body's structural system. The issue is in the hip, the pain in the knee. You may want to investigate that. Cortisone shots will take care of the inflamation, not the cause. Most likley it would come back after a while if you don't know what caused it. Good luck.
