Pain in legs while running
I am 6 ft overweight (105kg). My lower leg starts hurting after running for 200-300m. The muscles get charged and there is a small bump also on both legs(probably a varicose veins, but i can't see the vein, the bump is only visible when muscle is charged) and only the area around the bump hurts. I know I should reduce my weight but is there any other treatment also? I want to run w/o having pain.

It could be claudication pain. The cause could be higher up in your Lumbo Sacral spaces. The lumps in your calves you complain, could be contracted muscle in spasm causing severe pain forcing you to stop. Get yourself physically checked up and ensure that your nerve roots are not under pressure. You may contact again along with findings.
