It's called the
tibial band, and it's just that. It's a band that goes down on the
outside of the leg. It more or less goes from the hip all the way down to
the feet in the way it works. What happens is when the patellofemoral
pain occurs in the knee, it can also aggravate what we call tibial pain in the
side. That pain is kind of an inflammation. It can make you feel as
if your knee is giving way, it can cause severe pain, and it can even go down
into the feet and cause difficulty. It's obviously a concern that needs
to be treated. Stretching often helps.
