A couple of days ago the muscles in my left shin suddenly started really hurting quite badly. I was however, in the space of a few minutes, able to massage and stretch the pain away. It has been back intermittently (say twice a day) over the past few days and I'm always able to get rid of it. At first I thought "shin splints" but I've been running regularly for a while now so it can't be that. As I can get rid of it pretty easily it seems to resemble cramp. Can that be so and what can bring it on? The shin is the last area in which one expects cramp.
