Strange 'popping' feeling in legs after exercise

    I get it in strange little muscles around the top of my lats after lifting. Nowhere else. But I do get a visible dent near my shins after things that could cause shin splints. That's freaky looking, but not nearly as painful as real shin splints, so it's all good :grin:

    I LOVE this feeling. At first it was disconcerting, but I never really thought it could be bad. Now it feels great, like I really had a good work out. Typically it happens when I've walked on a hard surface for a while, like mall walking or when I walk on the street. I don't get the sensation when I do a low impact activity like the elliptical, which is a let down for me. I like to imagine it's fat cells bursting and expelling themselves from my thighs. It's a nice thought anyway. ;)

    HAHA - I imagine it's my cellulite popping!

    I get it after a hard swim. Always in my legs, which makes no sense, as I don't use them much except for pushing off the wall on turns. Really freaky to experience and frankly somewhat annoying, but after a couple of years, I don't consider it harmful, just a notification that work was done...

    I get the exact same feeling after workout or walk.
