- SlidesCalf Muscle Strain (Gastrocnemius / Soleus)The 'someone kicked me' moment, and the most recurrent muscle injury you will manage. Gastrocnemius versus soleus, what actually drives reinjury, and when to worry about the other cause of calf pain.
- SlidesChronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS)Reproducible tightness, ache or numbness in the leg that builds at a predictable time, distance or intensity and settles within minutes of stopping — normal at rest, firm after a run, common in runners and military populations, and often bilateral. The onset-and-relief timing is the diagnosis; the pressure number is not.
- SlidesMedial Tibial Stress SyndromeThe ≥5 cm rule defines the condition and has never been tested. 43% of asymptomatic runners have an abnormal tibial MRI. And it takes about a hundred days no matter what you add.
- SlidesTibial Stress Fracture (Tibial Bone Stress Injury)Focal pain that outlasts the run, on a bone that took a load it hadn't been built for. The exam is specific and not sensitive, imaging over-calls as hard as it under-calls, and the question that matters most is which side of the bone is loaded.
