I am suffering a new ailment which I cant find literature for, that is preventing me from running.
I ran a couple of weeks ago in 5 to 8 degrees (Celsius) wearing shorts and I may have been underdressed. Its possible that my leg muscles got cold. Within five minutes I got a cramp in my calf that forced me to stop running. The calf remained sore for the following week. I applied Traumeil and waited it out. After a week the sensitivity had diminished enough for me to think I could run. But about two or three hundred yards into my run the muscle seized up in a cramp again and I had to limp home. Its almost like there is a knot in my calf preventing oxygen from getting to the muscle.
Any help understanding this problem would be greatly appreciated.
