I just started having like a constant ache down my leg. It starts up around the top of my thigh to my ankle.?

Question

I know it isn't shin splints I've had them before. It almost feels like a growing pain but only in my left leg and it only happens when I stop running or doing our soccer drills. during the drills I dont feel it. also my middle, index, and thimb on both hands sometimes go ice cold and numb. I've had a few people tell me think it may be a problem with circulation or a pinched nerve. any ideas?

Answer 1

It sounds like you could just be over working your muscles, but I would talk to your coach and see if they say anything.  Also, go to the clinic and get checked up by your doctor.  Numb fingers aren't normal and you should get it checked out.

Answer 2

It sounds like it could be an issue of a pinched nerve or even an issue going on with part of the spine such as like a slipped disc (this is just an example only).

The only way to find out for sure is to see your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they say.
