What does it mean if when you are walking on a treadmill your legs start to itch?

Q: I have had this happen before that when I am walking for awhile and consistently that my legs will begin to itch. I thought it meant that I was working the muscles but nobody else I asked seems to have experienced this sensation.

A: I have had this. I think it’s because the muscle is having tiny tares in it, and the blood is rushing to the muscle to repair it and grow more muscle. Scientists believe this is how new muscle tissue is formed. It’s completely normal. You are growing more muscle and that is very good for your bone strength and density.

What does it mean when your walking or jogging , a numb stinging pain is in both ankle areas of my legs?

Q: I’ve been walking and jogging for three weeks now 2 to 3 miles for 5 days a week. I am 239lbs and I stretch correctly before I start but today I had sharp pains in both lower shin areas basically in my ankles. When I thought I couldn’t go on, I finished that mile and sat for a minute. After a few minutes of resting, I decided to go for mile 2, but about 50 ft from starting point, my feet went numb and sharp stinging throbs at the same time started in the same areas. I decided to slow down to a normal walking pace, but when I did my feet went cold! I walked another mile after that to try to work out the pain. What does this mean? Do I need new shoes or maybe my weight is taking a toll on my legs. What do you think?

A: Sounds like Inflammation. Take it easy, do low-impact exercise. your very heavy to be running. I weigh about 170 & get shin-splints if I run more than a few times a week ( at age 22 ) 5 days a week is also too much, Try 3, leave at least 1 day for rest between each run, ( I suggest 2-3 for your weight )You can seriously injure yourself if you continue running on shins/ankles that feel that way. Pain is the bodys way of telling you something is very very wrong..For mild inflammation, Try ibuprofen, it sounds though, like your just working out way too much/hard. It takes months & years to build a connective tissue foundation to run distance comfortably.Also, make sure your landing on your Heel & rolling to your toe, don’t just “Land” Plop! with your whole foot.Run Heel-toe, & Take it easy, good luck with your fitness goals.
