Body:
Did physical therapists, just address the injured area or did they also investigate further as to what might be causing all these injuries?

Obviously fractures bone density, calcium, etc., but what about how tight/weak you may be in your hips, groin, low back, etc? Sounds like you might have some tightness/alignment issues and/or weaknesses up in your pelvic area which might be over stressing everything below.

Are you sticking with therapies after the injuries clear up? Hope you get some good guidance, sounds incredibly frustrating.

thanks for the responses so far.

dsrunner, my injuries have included, but are not limited to: severe IT band syndrome, stress fractures in both shins at same time, stress fracture in just right shin, chronic calf strains in right calf, torn left quad, several hamstring strains, and a lot of other typical runner ailments.

at this current moment, i have run 20-30 mpw for the last 5 weeks, and i was finally starting to feel good again running after the torn quad, until about a week ago, my quad/IT band starting acting up again. determined to continue my comeback, i tried to run through it. now my right shin is killing me again and my calf is super sore. i have tried everything from chiropractor to physical therapy to fix things, and they just go away temporarily from taking time off and come back again once i get back into it.

oddly enough, my quad/IT band/hip doesnt bother me when i am doing fast paced stuff, like 200 repeats. my calf does, but i can get through that.

also, would you recommend running everyday, or just a couple hard days a week?
