Hi. This is only my 2nd time posting a thread. Tried earlier but only got 1 reply. The problem is with my left lower leg and also starting in my hip. I have been off running for 4 months due to pain which my pt is diagnosing as nerve injury although my only symptom is pain - no tingling etc. The pain is around the fibular head and progresses into the calf muscle if I try to run. Have started back to 20 mins 3 times a week and now my left hip is sore also. Any thoughts?

Sorry to hear you are having problems, it's beyond my limited knowledge, sorry. You might like to think about a specialist sports injury clinic?

Am attending a sports injury clinic + have been all along but doesnt seem to be making any difference

Not too sure how this forum thing works. Do I just reply to each post?

what treatment have you had at the sports injury clinic? Difficult to suggest stuff without seeing you. Did the problem start in your hip or your calf?

It started in my calf and pt thought it was a calf strain + treated it with massage etc. but it didnt improve with RICE and was using cross-trainer + spinning but no running. When it didnt improve I changed pt + went to sports specialist + he started treating it as nerve irritation + gave me specific excercises to do at home. All the while I am continuing to cross-train, but there is no improvement. Eventually stopped cross-training + had complete rest + meanwhile had gait analysis done but podiatrist didnt think the problem was being caused by gait. Started back to 20 min runs twice a week as pt thought it wasnt being caused by running. Did three 20 min runs last week and calf problem didnt get any worse (or better) but have now developed quite a bad pain in hip of same leg and find it painful walking, never mind running. So now have 2 areas of pain in the same leg.

Hi Naoimh,

As M.eldy says, a lot of regulars aren't posting at the weekend.

However, as soon as they get back to work on Monday there'll be lots more activity in here. If you "bump" this post tomorrow (by adding another post), it'll appear in the most-recent-threads display, thereby attracting more attention.

Sorry I can't help with your injury; it sounds like you've tried a lot - I hope someone gives you a good steer.

Thanks for that, cloudburst.

Howdy, Stranger!
