Hi, I am an expat living in Shanghai and visiting Doctors here is a huge frustration, explaining symptoms and getting the correct treatment is difficult so I was hoping to get feedback from here. I started running in the summer after a very long break and ran slowly and gradually and built up distance to around 30k a week, I was also playing tennis and netball. Since my early twenties (now 44) occasionally I get a tight, stretching feeling and tender to touch just above my right ankle, sometimes brought on by exercise sometimes for no apparent reason. I rest for a couple of days and the pain eventually goes. About 2 weeks ago I had the same sort of pain but further up the leg which was was also tender to touch and my calf muscle was also painful and painful to stretch. I have iced, and rested for a couple of weeks but unfortunately as soon as I try a little exercise the pain comes back, any advice much appreciated.
