Bone pain while running in both legs
Hello doctor,
I have been living sedentary life style since 7 years, work in software.
I started walking few days back, while walking I face very minimal pain or discomfort in left, that also comes only in ankle area.
But if I try to start running then starting from first running step till next 15-20 steps I tried, I always get strong pain in my leg bone, at front of leg between calf muscle to ankle length.
I get no extra/different pain in muscle, I am very sure it's only in bone that too while running only.
Could you please suggest what it is and how to manage/improve at home before visiting any doctor.
I also get pain in heel when I walk in morning first few steps.
Also which doctor to meet if I am not improving after trying suggestions.
Fyi, My current vit d is 21, with consultation from a general physician I have started 1 capsule of d-360 weekly once.
Thank you.

You have to visit a physiotherapist. Go for regular treatment. Doctor can release the trigger points of calf and can advise some stretches which you can follow regularly at home too. And gradually you can see the improvements.

At home take a ice can and role it by foot for 10 mnt, thrice per day. Do hot fomentation for calf area. And do regular stretches for calf with 10 Repeatation and hold each 10 sec to 30 sec. It will be painful cause of lengthening of muscles but really very helpful.

What you have is called Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome. I would advise you to stretch adequately prior to running. I would like to see the running shoes you're using and whether you are overpronating while running.
Next Steps
Intracompartmental pressure testing if symptoms don't subside.
Health Tips

Starting any physical activity after long time can cause this kind of problem.
Biomechanical assessment is needed in this case, consult a physiotherapist who have orthopaedic experience.
