Pain in lower part of leg while running.
I have been jogging from past 2 weeks. From the 3rd day I have been experiencing pain in my lower leg whenever I run. The pain starts just after 5 minutes of jogging and does not go away.

In all probability you are having shin splints secondary to calf tightness. Do a good warm up before jogging. Include calf stretches, hot compress. Follow it up with a good cool down. Identify the risk factors for calf tightness. All the best.

Greetings, sorry about the pain.
Going by your statement you are having a strained hamstring muscle.
Next Steps
you stop running for at least 2 weeks. give ice for 5 min twice a day for one week. do adductor stretching like sitting in butterfly pose if possible, if not do this after a week. you can also simultaneously visit a physio for trigger point release.
Health Tips
resting after 2-3 weeks will help heal hamstring strain. let me know the status. will update later.
