Subject: Pain/tightness in front of leg (not shin splints) Help! About 2 months ago I had a bad wreck that put e out of commission for about 4-6 weeks. Got back to training about 3 weeks ago. Week 1 was good. Week 2 starting having issues. Week 3 and I'm majorly frustrated. I'm having 3 issues and I'm sure they are related. Just not sure where to start. 1. Tightness/pain in front of my leg. Towards the ankle coming up a little into the shin. It's NOT shin splints. I've had those years ago and this is different. The best way to describe it is a dull aching tightness. 2. Foot going numb after 2-3 miles. Same shoes from before the wreck that did not have any issues. 3. Major tightness in my calves. Particularly the outside part. I can feel how this tightness is extending to the front fo the lag a bit so I'm guessing ti has to do with the pain on the front of the leg. On one of my runs last week my calves got so tight I could have cracked walnuts on them. Really painful. So, what say you BT? Is it tight calves or tight ... what do you call the opposite side of your calves? Shins I guess... If either of these what are the best stretches for that area? I already do quad an hammy stretches 2x a day. Guess I need to add in lower legs... |
