Pain in ankles and calves

[violablue]

How tight are the muscles in your calves? I'm thinking that with all the training you've been doing the muscles have tightened considerably, which puts tension tendons and compression on nerves. Find a good therapeutic/sport massage therapist (not just relaxing massage for you) and get some work done. You'll know very quickly if it helps or not.

Hi thanks,

I have now seen a physio who also suggested massage so i have started doing that followed by stretches I have been given. I have only been doing the stretches for two days which i realize is a short amount of time but a lot of the symptoms such as numbness and odd tingling sensations in the back of my legs have begun again after not having had them for 3
weeks while i was resting. It was so bad last night it prevented me sleeping as my legs felt cold and tingly. Is it still ok to carry on with the exercises, will the symptoms improve as i carry on?

Many Thanks

Hey,

Check in with your physio. Sometimes the stretching can compress the nerves/tissues if everything is extremely tight. In cases like that, I usually focus on things like massage and foam rolling, then progress to stretching as things loosen up.
