Leg pain

I have been having pain in my legs walking on treadmill. I sometimes am fine but when I have this pain, its in my calves, I have to stop. Its more like a burning pain then a cramping charlie horse pain. I drink plenty of water and even stretch now before walking on treadmill and it doesnt seem to make a difference.

Thing is my daughter is the same too. What can I do to alleviate this? Its been recently for me and I been working out consistently since last summer.

    Have you tried getting fitted for shoes?

    Same problem here and it is from the wrong shoes. Go to a running store and have them analyze your gait and walk. It is free and they are happy to help.

    That's what I did and am not sure if the person knew what he was doing since this is happening. They aren't old either did this a couple months ago.

    Tonight I did 30 minutes on treadmill with no pain. Did nothing different. Just can't figure out why sometimes it hurts so bad I have to stop and sometimes no pain.
