tendon pain during stretch?

[oso0960]

When i do a seated 90/90 stretch with my left leg, a tendon in the back of the leg closer to the opposite side of the teardrop (is it called the iliotibial band?) hurts like hell. What can I do to get rid of the pain? I already use a foam roller on it. here's what a 90/90 stretch is: http://stronglifts.com/the-only-6-static-stretches-you-should-really-do/

Get a piece of PVC pipe and lay on your IT band and roll back and forth from hip to knee. This hurts like hell, but it is a good hurt. This will bust up all the knots and scare tissue and help to loosen up and alleviate the pain.

Thanks for the reply, I do those before every workout. Excellent thing to do, but it still hurts

EDIT: so i found this on wikipedia: Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS or ITBFS, for Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome[1]) is a common thigh injury generally associated with running. Additionally it can also be caused by biking, hiking or weight-lifting (especially squats).
