Hi ladies I started back running 2 weeks ago and have developed a painful Achilles and an odd patch of sensitive skin in my lower leg at the side; it feels as if it’s moved down from where I first felt it ; feels over sesitive but only to the lightest touch; not painful at all and no swelling, lumps, bumps, redness or heat! I do suffer with repeated shingles on the same leg but the thigh and wondered if it was a bit of nerve damage from my last outbreak in April? Then I thought is it my hormones as I’m having a lot of migraines at the moment with the heat and peri? Anyone else experienced anything similar ? Kate 💝
Be careful if you're in you are in your 50s because sometimes those weird injuries take a lot longer to heal. I was walking regularly in men's short boots because I thought they looked cute. Ended up with a pain in my leg in that same location. I had to get it bandaged up because I kept walking on it.
Thanks for the reply. I’m 49 so there or thereabouts ! I googled it and terrified myself ! I now have health anxiety !! What type of pain did you have ?
Started off feeling like a light sprain. But as I kept walking on it .. the pressure of my weight bearing on caused a shin splints ... it was extremely painful in the end but I did not realize that I was damaging it. To heal it I had to limp a little in order to shift my weight off the injured bottom leg area. I recommend that you just ease up on a little because it was really painful ...
