Question 3

Accepted Answer

Sciatica-Leg Pain: Hi,
Concerned about the pain running down the back of the leg into the calf after running.
This is usually a problem with the nerve exiting the low back called the Sciatic nerve. It runs down the leg and when pinched causes pain.
Stop running temporarily and get some relief before this gets worse.
Dr Lori Lange-Pennsylvania

knee pain?

Accepted Answer

Knee Pain: What you are experiencing is very common. After not running for a while, the joints become stiffer and on resuming running, initially microtrauma and stress on the joints causes the pain to happen. After a bit, these heal and the joints are more supple and strong. When reinitiating running, be less agressive and ease into it. Also stay hydrated and practice proper running and exercise techniques.

Question 5

how do i deal with knee pain after running long distance?

Accepted Answer

Workout safely: You can apply ice over the knee, do a little bit of compression with an elastic bandage and apply cold compress over the site of pain. If this occurs after strenuous exercise this might be normal, if this condition happens all the time it is important to attend with a physician to discard any other problem like osteoarthritis (though you are young for this condition). Workout safely. :)
