Question for you fitness buffs/faux doctors:
I've been running a lot lately (every day for at least a mile, max: 4 miles). However, I've been having problems with pain on the lower inside of my calf muscle on both legs. I notice the pain as I'm running and eventually have to slow to a walk despite not being out of breath (indicating it's not a conditioning problem). Once I start walking the muscle tightens up significantly and causes me to limp.
It's not shin splints as I've had those in the past and this is nothing like that. Could it be a hydration problem? I do drink a lot of water and unsweetened tea (I don't drink soda or coffee) but it is hot in Texas and I sweat pretty profusely.
Could it be a nutrition issue? Is there a vitamin/nutrient I could be missing out on that's causing this? I'm trying to get in better shape but it's a big detriment to my running.
