Pain On Outer Left Leg Below Knee To The Mid Calf, No Improvement With Physiotherapy, Worsens On Running. Any Ideas?
I have a pain on my outer left leg an inch or so lower than the knee , it extends down to the mid calf appearing to follow the peroneus longus but doesn t extend to the ankle or foot . I have had this for 18 months and rest and physio hasn t made any difference. Walking normally doesn t seem to make it worse but running even 100 yds will make it very sore for days. Any ideas?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query
You are suffering from calf muscle pain during or after running.
This seems to be calf muscle strain.
This injury can occur as a result of lack of flexibility in calf muscle, an improper warm-up & not enough rest between runs.
So you need some rest, ice & heat therapy.
