Hi Guys; Back In October 2017 , I Was Running
Question: Hi guys;
Back in October 2017 , i was running 5km for 3 days in a week. ( mostly on parkour, infrequent on treadmill )
One day while i was on treadmill i felt a pain on my right leg. Around head of fibula bone( 2-3 cm lower of head) . I stopped running and did some research and though it might be shin splints. Then i took a 3 week break. After that pain goes away so i decide to try myself , but this time pain came back with my both legs.
In short ; i visited more than 10 doctors , took countless amount MRI , X-rays. No fracture or no something suspicious. None of them able to diagnose or tell what is wrong with me.
I am having pain all the way around fibula bone on my both legs. I cant say it is the bone or muscles around fibula for sure. It hurts mostly around head and bottom of fibula bone. Only way to get a relief is putting a really hard pressure top on pain. I dont even feel regular massage pressure , really need to push hard.
Here is the area of pains;

There is no swelling or redness.
It get worse if drive car or bicycling. Pain is constant. I have it like 10-12 hours of everyday. Also i having a lot pain around achilles tendon at nights. ( only nights )
Resting or stretching routines doesnt make it relief. I have absolutely no idea to lower my pain. It goes away by it self.
It is been 2 years , i am in pain everyday and ran out of idea , hope someone here can explain.

Brief Answer:
Can be muscle cramp or nerve compression.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached image and the area of pain. Since the MRI and X-ray reports are normal this pain can be due to a muscle cramp or a mild nerve compression. Methylcobalamin supplements and increasing the intake of electrolyte rich fluid can help.
You need to avoid any strenuous exercises for at least 3-4 weeks. Taking supplements like L- carnitine can also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Brief Answer:
Not likely to be bone related.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
You can upload the test results taken for nerve compression and MRI scans for better evaluation. Anything related to tendons or fibula would have shown on MRI scan. Muscle cramps can be recurrent. You can get your serum electrolyte levels tested to find out any discrepancy.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
