What Causes Tightness And Burning Sensation In The Legs?

I m 54 and have been jogging. For past 3 weeks, while jogging, both legs from knee down get extremely tight and burns. I feel it all way down to my ankles. My right leg is worst because my shin hurts so bad I have to stop jogging and walk. Feels like my calf will pop because of tightness. It s not shin splints, I ve had those before. Lately if my socks and lace up boots are too tight, my leg swells leaving bubble and socks impression

Hello,

Most probably it will be a neuropathic pain.

Consult a physician and get evaluated.

You can try drugs like Gabapentin for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
