Burning tearing pain in Shins when I kneel

I have what I think is the strangest thing going on.  I am 55, diabetic with heart disease, weight 173, height 5'2"

Recently (within last month or so) when I kneel down on the floor, sofa or anything else, I get a sharp tearing, burning pain in my shins - just to the outside of the middle of the shin.  It feels like some sort of muscle is tearing apart, and continues to tingle for about an hour after this happen and I stand up.  I do not have any pain in my shins from walking, running or anything else, just kneeling.  In fact, I was so bad the other day that my husband had to help me off the floor when I knelt down to get something out of the cupboard.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Hello!

You should get your fasting blood sugar test done and adjust your dosage of medications properly.

You should also go for some scans such as X-rays of your legs to make sure you do not have any fractures, if pain continues follow up with an orthopedician.

Consider regular cardio and maintain a BMI of 25.

Take care!

I have this same pain, and it initially happened because I knelt on the floor and twisted the wrong way.  It was an instant tearing stinking burning shocking pain!

It's been bothering me for three months now and it's slowly getting worse!  It also NEVER goes away!  I feel it when I sit on it wrong, sit near it wrong, if I rock my ankle getting into the car, if I flex my ankle backwards or up .... it shoots down though the outer middle of the calf/shin area into the top of my foot to my little toes!

If I rub the leg, or press on it ... sometime I feel swelling and it sends these light shock waves/tingles from the spot and down ...

I'm 42, I'm not diabetic.
What is it? ... is it fractured?  
Maybe a compressed nerve or compartment?  
HELP IT'S MAKING ME NUTS!

Did you find out what caused this?  And what cured this?  It sounds alot like something that is happening to me that started with a fall on my knee.
