Is this something that is a major problem?

Question

Okay. So i am pretyy nervous and stressed out about this, so any help you have to offer is very appreciated.

1.) I think my muscles are stiff. Like, in my legs. BOTH legs, not just one.

2.) It feels odd when I walk, it is hard to explain, and i have been trying to pinpoint exactly what, but it is just odd.

3.) When I lay down, sometimes it feels tingling in my legs.

This usually happens when I am walking or running, but it stops usually when Im not thinking about it so much. Do you know what it might be??

Also, sometimes they hurt.

Answer 1

Unless it becomes unbearable do not go see anyone. But follow my advice very very very closely.

It sounds like you may have the beginning of a serious lower back problem.

Now! Don’t panic! I can help you! Read carefully and follow suit.

You need to get into an exercise routine specifically suited to your needs.

1. The most important exercise is “Chin-Up”
a. organize an isometric bar at a level that when you hang from it your feet don’t touch the ground.
b. Than grab the bar with your arms apart by as much as your shoulder width
c. You than have to try and raise your body up until your chin is above the bar
d. Don’t worry if you can not do it
e. Any partial lifting is a good start
f. Just hanging it will also helps your problem
g. But try and lift as much as you can
h. And 3 sets of lifting for as many times as you can for each time every day
i. In the first few days you will feel your arms go saw
j. But don’t worry that is your muscles strengthening

This exercise will strengthen your body top part as well as stretch and relieve all your body joints and surrounding ligaments, supporting discs and muscles and all your current aches and pains should slowly disappear.

There is heaps more exercises that you would be best to do.

If you send me an email I’ll give you ongoing personal instructions and help you to get a body strength that you would have never believed.

You could try the above given exercise for about 1 or 2 weeks so as to prove the theory hereto given than if satisfied and wish for more send me an email and I’ll personally guide you to perfect fitness.

Now, I don’t mean to miss universe, although if you wanted and your body could handle I could guide you there too.

I mean a healthy body strength that you be happy with as well as proud of.

Good Luck

Answer 2

There are two possibilities. First, the nerves are damaged. This can be a peripheral neuropathy (diabtetes and the like) or mechanical pressure on the nerve usually in the lumbar spine (spinal stenosis).

Secondly, it could be decreased circulation. Both are easily tested by a CT of your lumbar spine, nerve conduction studies of the legs and non-invasive arterial studies performed by a vascular lab. Any moderate size city would have the ability to diagnose these. See a neurologist and /or a vascular surgeon and you'll have your answer.


The cause of shin splints is usually overused muscle, either an acute injury or DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness). The muscle pain is caused by any activity that involves running or jumping.


An individual not accustomed to running may experience pain in the shin muscles the next day even after a single, short bout of intense running. There may even be immediate discomfort in the muscles from a build-up of lactic acid.


A problem which can mimic anterior shin splints is chronic compartment syndrome (CCS). This is a SERIOUS problem which can lead to significant loss of function in the lower leg. CCS occurs when swelling within the indistensible anterior compartment of the leg reduces blood flow. This relative lack of blood, ischemia, can cause more swelling and generate a positive feedback loop.


In severe cases the result can be acute compartment syndrome (ACS) which requires emergency surgery to prevent ischemic muscle necrosis, muscle death due to lack of blood.


Think of CCS when pain worsens steadily during exercise rather than improving as the ligaments and muscles warm. Tingling in the foot is a particular red flag; it indicates compression of the nerve.

Acute treatment

The immediate treatment for shin splints is rest. Running and other strenuous lower limb activities like soccer should be avoided until the pain subsides and is no longer elicited by activity. In conjunction with rest, anti-inflammatory treatments such as icing and drugs such as NSAIDs may be suggested by a doctor or trainer, though there is some controversy over their effectiveness. Further treatments can include acupuncture

Training

Like any muscle, the muscles of the anterior shin can be trained for greater static and dynamic flexibility through adaptation, which will diminish the contracting reflex, and allow the muscles to handle the rapid stretch. The key to this is to stretch the shins regularly.


However, static stretching might not be enough. To adapt a muscle to rapid, eccentric contractions , it has to acquire greater dynamic flexibility as well. One way to work on the dynamic flexibility of the anterior shin is to subject it to exaggerated stress, in a controlled way. If the muscle is regularly subject to an even greater dynamic, eccentric contraction than during the intended exercise, it will become more capable of handling the ordinary amount of stress.

Experienced long-distance runners practice controlled downhill running as a part of training, which places greater eccentric loads on the quadriceps as well as on the shins. A professional trainer or coach, or perhaps a sports medicine doctor, should be consulted before engaging in this type of training


The long-term remedy for muscle-related pain in the shin is a change in the running style to eliminate the overstriding and heavy heel strike.


Most competitive runners do not strike the ground heel first. Sprinting is performed on the toes, as is middle-distance running. In long-distance running, the footstrike should be flat, though some elite long-distance runners will retain their forefoot strike acquired from years of competing in track-and-field.


Stress on the shin muscles can also be somewhat alleviated by footwear and choice of surface. Runners who strike heavily with the heel should look for shoes which provide ample rearfoot cushioning. Such shoes may be referred to as "stability" or "motion control" shoes for mechanically efficient runners.


If you suspect CCS seek medical attention before continuing to train. If you suspect ACS seek medical attention immediately night or day.

Answer 3

you need to see a doctor to rule out MS or a neurological problem. have you injured your back recently sat down heavy. see a doctor

Answer 4

could be something serious or something as simple as a potassium problem.
