strained leg?
« on: April 30, 2008, 19:49:43 PM »

A couple weeks ago i tryed to do a scrub thing over a small jump, ended up with my rear wheel about 80 degrees to the front upon landing, though my foot was the 1st thing to touch the ground, as the bike landed it it kinda straightened up, as it did this my foot/leg twisted. I was in bad pain for about 5 minutes after, it continued to hurt but i continued riding.

Anyway nearly two weeks later the pain is still coming back in bouts, right down the side of my calf muscle and kinda under neath the bottom of my knee cap. The pain/ache (sp?) seems to get triggered mostly when walking up steep hills (ie dh tracks), walking up stairs and jogging. but then it just seems to go away and will randomly start hurting/throbbing some other time sporadically and my toes kinda tingle a bit - when I'm actually riding my bike it doesn't hurt much at all - though when walking back up it does?

Anyone have anyidea of what it is - trapped nerve or something ? am i just being a fool?

think its the same as what i have. shin splints.

i had them after i broke my ankle when i was 9 and they gradually dsapeared but i broke my foot in march and its come back now.

i saw my doctor about it and he said its a bit of a mystery and there isnt much information on it but its to do with tendons in your lower leg. there is no cure for it but it SHOULD clear over time.

then again, it may not be shin splints  Cheesy
