What the heck is wrong with my leg?
Just got back from the NLM training conference, which was at the NIH near DC this year. The whole trip was great, because the BMI-ers were able to hang out a bit before and during the conference. With this fun, however, comes a price.
For the last two days, I started getting a sharp pain in my leg, along the shin. I thought it was shin splints, and that it would go away after a few days, but today the pain got so great that I was hobbling around and walking at an incredibly slow rate. Maybe I'm just weak, but I have never felt so much pain in my leg before. I guess it's kind of comparable to a charlie horse, but not along the muscle.
Oh well, tomorrow to the doctor it is. The doctor today on the phone sounded a little perplexed, as well as everyone else I have asked for advice.
Here goes nothing...
