Pins and Needles During Sport
by davidmichaelpowell, Nov 08, 2009 01:21PM
I have played football for years, but since the start of this season i am getting an extremly tight calf, and pain down the side of my shin when playing, this gets to a point where it creates great discomfort to run and if i play through the pain, pins and needles occur in the bottom of my feet! this problem usually happens in the warm up and is fine by the start of the game, but recently its just not going away during the game! i thought i had my boots on too tight and shin pad restricting blood flow, but ive tried playing with loose boots and pads but i still get the same problem. any ideas of what this could be and how to solve the problem?

it sounds like exercise induced compartment syndrome.
spend a lot of time stretching the calf b/f your game/practice.
see your podiatrist for a biomechanical exam and possible orthotics.
if the pain continues, have a post exercise compartmental reading to see if it is compartment syndrome.
in the interim, ibuprofen, icing, and taping the shins can help
