im pretty athletic, i have been running and can easily run a mile without so much as have a stitch, but my one probleam is i do about 10 minutes of stretching and my left calf still burns like all hell. i have had lower back probleams on that side that i was told might be related to a tight hamstring, could this be the reason for the calf being in pain? and if son should i just stretch it more?

Michele answered Sunday August 19 2007, 1:44 pm: One thing you might want to check, as I had a problem for years in my right hip, and after seeing two doctors and three chiropractors, one of the diagnosed that I had one leg shorter than the other. And only by 1/4 of an inch! but it can make a BIG difference in your body dynamics. A problem like that can lead to back aches and mucle aches and pains that nothing will remedy.
I was able to resolve it by just keeping a very small leather lift in one shoe. Now all pain is gone and I even walk better. More fluidly.
This is after I spend thousands on acupuncture and cortisone shots. You might just want to rule that out.
