Hi, I Am 30 Y/o Man. 184 Cm Tall And
Question: Hi, I am 30 y/o man. 184 Cm tall and 100 kg weight.
Back in October 2017 , i was running 5km for 3 days in a week. ( mostly on parkour, infrequent on treadmill )
One day while i was on treadmill i felt a pain on my right leg. Around head of fibula bone( 2-3 cm lower of head) . I stopped running and did some research and though it might be shin splints. Then i took a 3 week break. After that pain goes away so i decide to try myself , but this time pain came back with my both legs.
In short ; i visited more than 10 doctors , took countless amount MRI , X-rays. No fracture or no something suspicious. None of them able to diagnose or tell what is wrong with me.
I am having pain all the way around fibula bone on my both legs. I can%E2%80%99t say it is the bone or muscles around fibula for sure. It hurts mostly around head and bottom of fibula bone. Only way to get a relief is putting a really hard pressure top on pain. I dont even feel regular massage pressure , really need to push hard.
(Picture is not belong to me)
There is no swelling or redness.
It get worse if drive car or bicycling. Pain is constant. I have it like 10-12 hours of everyday. Also i having a lot pain around achilles tendon at nights. ( only nights )
Resting or stretching routines doesnt make it relief. I have absolutely no idea to lower my pain. It goes away by it self.
It is been 2 years , i am in pain everyday and ran out of idea , hope someone here can explain.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
hi
yes definitely seems to be a pain localised to the fibula, and now you are saying also in the region of achilles tendon.
It could be an enthesitis, that is pain at the attatchment of muscle and tendons to bone.
I would suggest that you take an NSAID on a regular basis for a week - 10 days, to see if that gives relief, which will happen if there is a component of inflammation here, other medicine which might help is pregabalin which is a nerve relaxant, needs to be taken at night, and lastly physical therapy at the source of pain should give u relief.
supplementation with calcium, vitamin D, and the final option is to do a nerve conduction study for the source of pain, ESR and CRP to rule out an inflammatory arthritis/myositis.
