Hey, really glad that you posted about this. I've had a very similar situation (a slightly bum leg due to a strained IT/LCL sorta area, just on the right rather than left), and a lot of stress that I'd just loooove to let bleed into a workout. Hearing this reminded me to be safe and smart about my joints.
Hate it that you wound up as a cautionary tale, but thanks for sharing, and I hope it heals up cleanly for you. Have you seen a physician, by the way, with it having nagged at you for that long? (I ask, even knowing that as male and a martial artist myself, I'm loathe to do it, or take the pills)
