Strange Injury

[Lewis Hart]

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my right calf when I am running, because this muscle starts to burn much more thn its left counterpart.

Has anyone else had this problem, if so, how did you overcome it?

Thanks for your help guys.

If you know its a bit more of a problem, make sure you warm it up a bit more than you would normally.

I also use skins compression calf sleeves when I'm in games as I find this helps too

Can you tell us a bit more about what you mean by 'burn more' ?

The right calf feels really tired and much more inflamed than the left calf.

Get it checked out with a physio. It could be something else and not the calf that's the issue. Feet, hips, back, core abdominal area - all these can impact other areas of the body.

Went out for another run this afternoon, and it has seemed to evened up on both calfs. I've got a charity game on the line tommorow, and a pre season friendly on Sunday, and after that I'm having a rest day!

Thanks for your advice guys!

I'll second the advice to see a physio.

I'd been having issues with pain in my left hamstring; it turned out that although the muscle was weakened, it was caused by weakness in my right hamstring, which in turn meant I was putting all if my weight on the left. Problems are often caused by something else, best to get it sorted properly IMO.
