Okay, a few months ago, when I started walking from one univesity building to another (a 5 minute walk) my left shin really started to hurt. It was weird. It was a sharp stinging pain everytime I put my foot down. Soon I realized that it was mainly when I was on my heel. If I stood on my toes, it was okay, but the second I would put more of my body wait on the shins, it was really hurting (imagine standing straight, lifting your toes up, so that you are only standing on your heel). So I got worried and didn't know what was wrong. I guessed it was maybe Calcium difficiency or the fact that I would sometimes do legs, then stop, and not do them for a while, and was thinking it might be some sort of atrophy and the leg muscles got suddenly weaker???
Soon I kinda just forgot about it, and it actually kinda went away for a while. Another thing to mention is that it would usually just happen in the morning, when walking from one building to another. The rest of the day, walking from class to class, walking up stairs, or even walking to the parking lot after school, my shin seemed fine. But either way, it stopped for a while, probably a month or so.
Now, just recently (one week) BOTH my shins have started to hurt once again. Now I don't know why this is. I was wondering if anyone has felt this type of pain and/or knows what is causing it. It comes and goes, that's the thing. The only thing I can guess is calcuim defficiency or leg atrophy (if there even is such a thing). I don't drink as much milk as I used to, but if it's a calcium difficiency, then why would it only be my shins that hurt?? More bones should hurt...right???
Hope you can help.
Thnx
