hey guys, i've been having a problem with stabbing calf pain from running for years. it started when i was 13 when i started running track and field. after a few weeks of practice i developed this stabbing pain in my calves that would run down to above my ankles, on the sides of my legs too. no matter how much stretching i did it never went away until i quit the team a year later.
fast farward 7 years. i'm getting back into shape and just like last time, after about 3-4 weeks of training i got that same debilitating, stabbing, sharp pain in my calves. i've gone to the doctor and all he says is to stretch and ice it but that doesn't do jack shit. i got back from running a mile half an hour ago and i can't even stand up. anybody have an idea what's going on with me? its been years and i just want help.
TLDR; have a seemingly dormant condition where every time i start getting into shape i get stabbing pain all over my calves thats seemingly not cure by anything

try an overhaul on your running form? not to say you have bad form, but stabbing calf pain aint normal

I'm 6'4" 215 lbs. Back in my military days when I was running a lot, I'd get those pains when doing 4+ miles a day, but after about 2 weeks or so, it disappeared. I also pronate inward. After learning how to run on the balls of my feet and doing a fuck ton of stretching, it went away. I'd advise getting some electrolytes in you as well, maybe some watered-down gatorade.

stretch more then. drink water. put idodized salt in it. eat a banana or better yet some coconut meat. then stretch even more.
additionally, try running 1/2 as far, 2x as often. see if it help.s
