I am 39 year old male. I am getting strain ,fatigue and burning sensation in shin muscle between below knee and above ankle only during running. This is more in left leg compared to right leg. During walking I don't have any pain. I participate in 10k run once in 2 month's, also run weekly 3 to 4 times 2 to 3 km each time. Do I need to change shoes, posture correction or any suggestions for supplements.

Hi Suresh, Shin pain mostly occurs due to pronated foot. You should change your shoes if it is old otherwise wear a insole having elevated medial wedge. Do regular stretch for your calf muscle and strength exercise for quadriceps. For ankle exercise, draw alphabet from your great toe with ankle movement, but your leg should be static while making alphabet. One more effective exercise for pronated foot is just try to hold pen or pencil so that you can feel the gap between the floor and your medial side of foot.

Dear lybrate-user, Now a days, young people with heavy sports activities get caugt in DVT - Deep Vein Thrombosis. Please get a Lower Limb Color Doppler study done to rule this out. Regards.
