****I don't know if there is a more apprpriate place to ask this question so if it needs to be moved I understand****
For YEARS I have this chronic pain that I don't know how to prevent or treat. I like to go running and speed walking on a regular basis but as soon as I am about 10 to 15 minutes into my workout the lateral side of my right leg feels like it's on fire. THe muscle (peroneus longus, I presume) gets so incredibly tight and no amount of stretching will loosen it.
I've done everything that I can think of...proper stretching for 20 minutes, drinking lots of water, and wearing appropriate running shoes with good socks. It's really annoying cuz I end up doing just a "brisk" walk after about 15 minutes cuz the pain is so bad. There is never a problem with my left leg and it's always in the same exact spot in my right leg. It doesn't cause pain at all doing normal activities or walking at a regular pace but as soon as I start jogging it kills me.
I was wondering how I could prevent the injury so I can enjoy jogging? Is there some kind of brace or something I can wear?
