i have this funny feeling in my lower left shin. not a pain, more like a fuzzy funny-bone feeling. it started suddenly after a month of walking 6 miles per evening, started as a tingling sensation. now, though, it's like a burning, like an athletes foot of the shin.
though not itchy. just burn-y and feels like either the skin wants to tear, or like the feeling you get when stitches want to tear. or maybe even like there is a little vein-shaped alien thingy inside that wants to come out. it doesn't hurt, just gets inside my head. the area is about one inch wide by maybe 5-6 inches long. there is absolutely no sign of anything there. no lump, no redness, no veins bulging out. nothing.
i am 5'8'' 265 pounds, so no doubt there is a lot of stress on those legs o' mine.

It's great that you're walking 6 miles per evening, but you actually may need to give those legs of yours some rest. When you ex cerise your muscles are tearing, you need to allow for a day for them to heal. Don't get too hard on yourself. Make sure you stretch as well. Also after you walk, lay down on the floor and put your legs up 90 degrees against the wall and keep it like that for about 3 minutes. Feels great and will help reduce soreness.

You have an irritated cutaneous nerve. This could be due to a very tiny tear in the sheath that surrounds the muscle on the front of your left leg, or pressure from an article of clothing (do you wear socks that come up above the area?).
It does not sound like a pinched nerve due to a back problem because it is such a tiny area.
If it is bothersome, your doctor can refer you to someone who can try to do a nerve block on that irritated nerve.

You may have an irritated nerve in this area from the walking. Also arthritis tends to have this burning sensation. Talk to a doctor.

OK Before you take my advice, SEE A DOCTOR. That means the one with the best reputation you can find, this might be serious. I have the sneaking suspicion it's a bone condition, such as arthritis or osteporosis. Like I said, see the doctor and tell him/her EXACTLY what's going on!

Yes, you are severly overweight, and what you are describing sounds like it may be a pinched nerve in your lower spine. Chiropratic treatments are very effective for this sort of thing. Give it a try.
