Conversation with Christopher this morning as I was loading up on motrin and prevacid (to counteract the stomach ache I get from the motrin...)
Chris: "Mommy, why you eating medicine?"
Me: " Because mommy's leg hurts"
Christopher looking down at my ice wrapped shin: "Why your leg still hurting?"
Me: "Because I went running"
Chris: "So why you keep running?"
Hmm... Why indeed...

Oh man! Why are you continuing to be hit with challenges to your running? I want you to be painfree without the aid of Motrin and Prevacid.

That stinks! I agree with Suzanne...pain free without "medicine." Hmmmm, I'm sure this is the last you want to hear, but maybe you need more time off. Last winter I was having constant IT band issues even with the proper stretches, strength training, and foam roller. I wound up deciding to take the winter off. I took off from the beginning of December to the end of February, and just stuck with the cardio equipment in the gym. When I started running in March my injuries were all better.
You might also want to talk to a running coach. Running coaches often know secrets to treating and preventing injuries.
I hope you're feeling the running love soon!
