Yes: Possible exercise induced compartment syndrome....you need to make sure you see someone like an orthopedic sports specialist ....

Ease your Mind.: If these symptoms are increasing, I see no reason why a reasonable person would not have some concern. It makes perfect sense to have the leg examined by an orthopedic surgeon.
