Please see your doctor quickly  for proper management.You wouldn't like to get lame,which may be the case sometime.\nLet me share my story,hoping it will help you move fast :\n I had a back problem that I "ignored" for over 10 years because the pain wasn't severe, till one day someone asked me whether I had been lame all along,and that was when I realise my right leg had become shorter than the left-gradually and with minimal pain.Subsequently,I had to have surgery,which was very expensive !

Stop the jogging and go to a doctor.  \n\nThere is not enough information to give an answer here.  \n1) Do you smoke?\n2) How long have you been jogging or is this new?\n3) Do you have any prior medical history with chest heart or lung?\n4) Does the pain go away quickly after you stop or take hours?\n5) Family history of heart or lung disease?\n6) Are you over weight?\n6) Are you diabetic?\n7) Are you taking medications?

Pain that is caused by another part of your body having a problem that is felt somewhere else.\n\nExample... pain in the back of your leg can actually be orginating from your low back or hip.

Pain in the calves could be relieved by regular stretching after cardio workouts.  You may also be developing a bone spur due to repetitive stress or have strained the calf muscles.  If they are strained they need some rest, icing, antiinflammatories and a trip to the doctor (you should see the doctor anyway to find out what is wrong).  Are you running on large inclines?  This may contribute to pain in the calves.  Continuing to run while the calves hurt may just be worsening the injury - so get it checked so you can get back to working out!  You may have also upped the intensity of the runs too much too soon, which is causing injury to the calf/Achilles tendon or even the lower tibia (bone in lower leg).  It may be good to tone it back and up the intensity more slowly.  Again, see a doctor (there's an underlying theme to my answer...).  Good luck bud!

Try making sure you are hydrated properly, it is a crucial factor, but it could be anatomical.  You're most likely exhaling when your right side is hitting the pavement.  This causes your internal organs to expand to fill the gap as your diaphragm moves upward.  This tension causes a pain in your side (either side).  The best way to avoid this is to, when you feel the pain begin, is to take several LONG breaths.  Also, try exhaling when your left foot hits the ground.  If all else fails, physically shortening the distance your organs have to expand (i.e. leaning to that side) will also do miracles to alleviate that pain.\n\nGood Luck

Yes, if you jog too much you can hurt yourself, especially your feet and knees.\n\nIf your body is used to it, you can jog quite a lot without hurting yourself.  Just make sure you use good shoes and change them when they wear out.\n\nListen to your body. If you feel pain it means you are doing too much.  Take a break or try a lower impact activity like biking or swimming.

Please get to a doctor or better still A & E, this could indicate a blocked artery or gout in the leg.\nThis must be checked out and not left

Shin splints can be caused by sudden increases in mileage, walking uphill, overtraining, walking faster than normal, jumping, running stairs, or just too much distance. They can occur on the medial, or inside of the shin, or on the lateral, or outside of your shin. Medial shin splints are usually caused by excessive pronation or flat feet, and often by pounding from running, or sports like tennis, volleyball, and other weight-bearing activities. If you have medial shin splints and flat feet or excessive pronation, an orthotic device or over-the-counter arch support like Powerfeet or Spenco can sometimes be helpful. Make sure it's a full-length insert. \n\nLateral shin splints (sometimes called anterior shin splints) are usually due to overuse and inflammation of the anterior tibialis muscle and the muscle compartment in the front of the leg, along the outside front of your shin. The anterior tibialis muscle flexes your foot upward. People frequently get anterior shin splints from the repetition of flexing the muscle. For instance, on the treadmill, if you walk fast enough, and for long enough, or if you've suddenly increased the speed, or you're walking on an elevation, the muscle gets overworked and starts to cramp. It would be like doing hundreds of biceps curls until your arm started to cramp. Plus, on the treadmill, there's no letup since the mill just keeps going. You could potentially have the same problem if you walked or ran briskly outdoors for a long period of time at a speed faster than you're used to. \n\nTreatment for shin splits includes rest, massage, ice, stretching, and strengthening. Rest and ice is sometimes the best treatment. You should also be stretching your calves and Achilles tendon real well. If you have the problem during running or walking, try warming up more and don't increase the speed too quickly. You can also try varying the speed and elevation of the treadmill if you use one instead of keeping it the same. \n\nTo stretch your calves: \n\n1. Lean against a wall with one leg forward and the knee bent. \n2. Keep the rear leg straight, heel on the floor. \n3. Keep your back straight and lean your hips forward until you feel a stretch in your calf. If you don't feel it too much, put your toe of the rear leg up on a tree limb, or a dumbbell, or any other small object, so that you bend the ankle more. Your heel always remains on the floor. That will increase the stretch. \n4. To stretch the soleus muscle and Achilles (very important for shin splints), do the same calf stretch but bend the back knee slightly and you will feel the pull on your Achilles tendon. \n\nWhen you stretch, make sure to hold the stretch until you feel looser and not just for 10-15 seconds. The point to stretching is to stretch the muscle, so hold it until you feel stretched. \n\nAlso make sure your shoes are sturdy and give you lots of support, particularly in the arch. If your shins hurt you should gently massage them and then ice them after you work out.

You can get the same results as running, if you walk at a brisk pace.  When you are saying you're "stressing out your leg muscles" are they hurting?  Are you just beginning your program?  Consider this: walking for 10 minutes to warm up, then run for 10, walk for 10, run for ten.  Try alternating running and walking, or put the running aside for a week and walk fast for about 30 minutes, you'll get the same results and with no added impact to your knees, legs, feet, joints, back.\n   If you do decide you want to keep running, walk for at least 5 minutes first to get your muscles warmed up.  Starting to run right away without warming them up first can cause some injury to them, and then you're "on break" for awhile.  \nOh and to answer your question (finally!) yes, walking and running every other day will certainly burn fat.    Hope this helps....

Shin splints, is a condition where there is pain in the anterior tibia caused by overuse of the anterior tibilias muscle. They are most common in inexperienced runners or runners who overtrain. The pain is usually worsened by exertion and other factors:\n\n- Running on hard surfaces\n- Insufficient padding in the shoes \n- Over-pronated and/or flat feet can also lead to increased stress on the lower leg muscles during exercise\n- High arched feet can experience shin splint discomfort because this foot type is a poor shock absorber.\n\nThe treatment for shin splints is rest. Running and other strenuous lower limb activities should be avoided until the pain subsides and is no longer elicited by activity. In conjunction with rest, icing and anti-inflammatories may be suggested by a doctor or trainer, though there is some controversy over their effectiveness. A contributing cause of shin splints in some cases is the relative weakness of the muscles on the anterior of the lower leg compared to those in the calf. In this case exercises that preferentially strengthen the anterior muscles may help alleviate or avoid shin splints.\n\nIf you are just starting to run. Take it easy and progress into a walking program first before running. Here are some links for progression:\n\n12-week walking schedule\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/fitness_walking.html\n\nBeginning a Jogging Program\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/fitness_jogging.html\n\nA Rundown on Shin Splints\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/rundown_shin_splints.shtml

Running pain in the shin is commonly known as shin spints. There are three main causes: Stress fracture of the tibia, pulling of the muscle away from the tibia, and soreness from over use. \n\nUnless you are putting in hard milage on an unforgiving surface, I would guess that it's the third cause. It can be caused by running on hard surfaces and running hard on tight turns indoors. I've also seen it happen to people who have shoes that are too large. They curl their toes in an attempt to hold their shoes in place and that causes the muscle to tense up causing problems. Trying to hold your ankles in a fixed position can also cause it. \n\nHere is an exercize that you can try that may help: First you need a towel. Sit on a chair. Spread the towel on the floor. Place your feet so that your toes are on the towel, but your feet are on the floor. Pull the towel towards you by curling your toes. Try to move as much of the towel under your feet as you can, just by pulling it with your toes. (It's hard to do.)\n\n\nKnee problems can be caused by shoes that don't provide enough cushioning or don't have the right kind support for your running mechanics. If your ankles pronate (rotate in) or supinate (rotate out) on each stride, that force gets transmitted up to your knees. Wearing shoes that are right for your body mechanics could clear up the problem. You may have to have a gait analysis done.\n\nThere are a lot of stretches for your hamstrings. A common one is a modified hurdlers stretch. Sit on the ground, put the sole of one foot on the inside of the other thigh, keeping the other leg straight. Slowly stretch reaching for the toes of the straight leg.\n\nI always recommend Bob Anderson's stretching book. You may be able to find it in a local library. If not, it's on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0936070226\n\nThere's also a DVD based on the book.

If the pain is after doing some exercise/walking, then it may be Angina (consult the Doctor immediatly), if it is random, it may be due to some stomach problem,  or even some muscular pain. I have recently have Bypass surgery, and studied a lot of literature, if you need any assistance in case of heart problem, then contact me at hafeez_butt@yahoo.com
