Mine did go away and I'm at 5 months....however stretching it for me really helped. If you are still in PT ask them what you can do to stretch the IT band. One thing I did was lay on my back (in bed) and put your leg straight up in the air, then lower it across the other leg until you feel a tug. That was one that helped my hip and IT band. I found this one on google. My PT stopped at 3 months because they said I really just needed to keep doing strength exercises and they couldn't justify keeping me. The more we sit causes the IT band to shorten up and stretching it several times a day definitely helped me.
