Hello
I was out walking on Saturday, carrying a pack as I am trying to build up weight carrying for multi day trail walking, at the 15k point I developed a pain in my lower right leg above the ankle, managed to get back to civilisation ok. However the lower leg was starting to swell and the muscle on the right of the shin started to discolour to a light brown colour up to just below the knee.
The muscle on the right of the shin bone from the ankle to the knee is warm to touch and when I flex the muscle there was a sensation of grinding or like sandpaper moving over the flexing muscle
Seems to have eased off today and the pain has almost gone, my right leg is the one I put most weight on and I also walk and wear down the outside of the right sole
Any one had this before - I am thinking shin splints -
