You're very welcome. Ice became a staple when I was a runner, and when I was recovering from my TKRs last year. ITB syndrome can be very painful, but usually responds well to stretching, icing, and rest.
One thing to NOT do is apply heat. Yes it loosens things up but it also brings in blood to the area and causes inflammation. I never use heat, anywhere. Always ice. It's not as fun, but it works.
