Left Leg/calf/thigh Has Been Sore For 2 Weeks Posted: 02-19-07 18:08pm
I haven't exercised in a year, and then
all of a sudden I decided to start
exercising. First week I walked/jogged 2
miles a day for 3 days a week. 2nd week
did 4 days, plus another mile on a tread
mill after work for a couple days during
those weeks. Now my left leg, calf,
upperthigh, glute (left), are really sore.
It's more than sore, when I stand up and
take a few steps. I feel like I'm going to
fall over and after I start walking it
becomes more tolerable.
I have stopped cardio to see if this would
go away. It's been like this for almost 2
weeks and it bothers me after I've been
sitting down for a while and then I stand
up and start walking, if I move around in
my sleep. It's hard for me to just put on
my pants.
What could this be? I guess it's on my
left leg since I probably have bad posture
when I run, but I don't feel anything on
my right leg. When I exercised I didn't
run fast, it was mostly a walk/jog, I'd
try to run for about 30 seconds-1minute
then stop. I get tired easily. It takes me
about 45 min for 2 miles. If I start
jogging or running to exercise it doesn't
bother me anymore until I stop. I took
some Tylenol a couple days ago, twice a
day and it didn't help. should I continue
this?
