i have a sharp pain about 2/3rd the way down my calf on the front side. its a piercing pain. When I bend over it almost feels like its a tendon being stretched and snapped back.... any ideas i have looked up shin splints and stress fractures and i dont think that it is either of them. there is no pain at all normally its when i bend (keeping legs straight) that i feel that pull/snap and the sharp pain if i push on the location of the snapping sensation.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As the pain is in the mid-calf region and aggregates when bending I suspect this of the nerve pathology in the lumbar spine. Which needs a thorough neuromuscular assessment and an MRI is required later post assessment. Due to the pinch of the nerve there is possibility of the nerve in the concerned route giving pain. Post which with simple physical therapy exercise and medication the symptoms subside and better functional ability is achieved. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
