Numbness in shin muscle
When i run, the muscle in my shin goes numb. It usually starts about .5 miles into running. It has been getting gradually worse over the past few years. It is to the point where anything over half a mile is impossible(begin to lose feeling and cannot flex my muscle to pick my foot up. Something must be wrong with my leg or nerves as i can bike 15 miles without a problem(It is not a question of being in shape).
