Roger has a sore IT band. What is MOST likely true about this injury?

The iliotibial (IT) band runs along the outer, or lateral, side of the thigh and crosses the outside of the knee. Irritation of the band commonly causes pain in that area, so the most likely statement is that Roger feels pain on the lateral side of his knee and thigh. Running through the pain may worsen the irritation; the injury is not a tibialis muscle tear and usually does not require joint aspiration.
