Leg pain after a couple of minutes of walking

Recommended Posts

I just started to practice karate and did my first session of shadowboxing yesterday on my own. I just imagined I had a sparring opponent in front of me and did the attacks that I would normally do iin a real sparring fight: punches, kicks, combinations, etc.

However, like an idiot, for some reason I failed to warm up before that. I did two sessions of 3 minutes and they were immediately pretty intense. I was out of breath afterwards.

Anyways, this morning, I got out of bed, feeling normal. But as I was walking to the railstation, a pain came up in my left quadricep. The strange thing is it only came up after a few minutes of walking. Before that I was fine. It's not a constant pain when walking: it feels like some sort of deep sting that lasts one second every time I take a step.

The odd thing is, my leg feels fine for the rest: I can walk to the coffee machine to grab a coffee, I can take the stairs up, I can squad on one leg a few times, I can bend or stretch my leg with resistance without feeling pain. I can stretch the quadricep without resistance, I can press on the muscle without feeling pain.

It's only when I move it for a longer time (several minutes) that this pain kicks in.

It's not swollen nor does it show any visual bruises on my leg.

I realize you guys are most likely not doctors, but it interests me to hear if anyone has ever experienced this?

I hope it's one of those "things that come up and go away by itself in a few days" see what I mean?

Thanks!

I had a spot of muscle strain once that acted a little bit like that.. Eat bananas, drink lots of water (Get a gallon jug, fill it in the morning, and work your way through it over the course of the day), take a hot shower, and it'll probably fade in a couple days.
