Lower outside of calf pain? - Snowboarding Forum

mcnutt · 12-31-2012, 06:37 PM

Hey i just stared getting a throbbing pain just on outside of my lower calf on the outside of it, starts right above boot line(only the left one i ride reg) an i'm wondering what it is? a muscle strain? it doesnt start untill snowboarding. even put on different boots an it didnt help? What could it be binding angles? It started i dont know when maybe after gettin a good 10ft of air an the landing was flat? Help!! it is seriously hampering my shredding time!!

i got the same thing when i rode with loose boots. if they are loose, you can have your leg swing back and forth in them. not fun...

You should treat it by getting new boots. It's the boots. I've been through the same. Save your self the hassle or trying everything else.

It could be. You need to give your legs a break. The ones that cause my pain were Celcius CLS. I went to Vans BFB's but swapped them out back and forth for the rest of the season. I couldn't really tell what it was until the start of the next season when I started out on the BFB's for a few weeks and took out the CLS's only to have them do it again. I retired them and haven't had the problem since.
