Second PT Visit, Pain Improving

Had my second PT visit today.  Today, she did a round of phonophoresis with dexamethasone, which uses ultrasound (sound waves) to inject or enhance the delivery of the medicine into my ITB insertion point. She also gave me another Empi patch with dex too.  The Empi patch is a multi-hour therapy, which electrically injects the anti-inflammatory into my joint over a 5 hour period (it's powered by a  ring of watch batteries).  This, in combination of Aleve twice a day, along with the various stretches that she has given me, and continued icing of the knee after every run is really helping with the pain. I feel that I might actually me making a significant improvement.
