The pain is more in my calf when Im running. It sort of shoots up the side of my cald. Its bearable but I wonder if its doing that because of exercise or because something else is wrong?

    A couple of things to consider.....were your muscles stretched out properly before your exercise (running) and the other I can think of is possible dehydration ... if the pain persists you may want to run it by your doctor to make sure there is no tearing or anything else going on.

    You may want to research shin splints and also about getting properly fitting shoes or inserts. My 16 year old son began running track last winter and has just developed shin splints due to the super flat shoes he runs track in. We are supposed to get him arch supports of some type.

    I think i stretch pretty good but maybe I should stretch more? That and my knees are killing me. Just sporadic pains throughout the day. Im too young to fall apart this early!
