Q: just wont go away...ive had this pain in my calf(feels like its just dangling in my skin when i do hard workouts) and in my shin..doesnt feel like shin splints..but hurts really bad along with my ankle..all in the same leg..ive been resting for about a week and icing it most days... is there anything else i can do? im in cross country and love to run
A: well it sounds like to me that you may have a pinched nerve or pulled muscle. Just try to go easy on your xc meets or dont run at all, just ask your sponsor if you can walk for a few days because you think you may have injured yourself. This could have been cause by over stretching or you just turned a wrong way that pinched a nerve. If it is a pinched nerve then just massage it (it will hurt but its worth it) after a few days it should go away
