Ouch!! Lower leg discomfort

Has anyone else experienced a strange sensation in the side of the lower leg? The only way I can describe it is that it feels like swelling (it isn’t swollen) and it hurts when I put pressure on it. It’s happened once or twice now during and after a run and it’s only on one leg!! Any ideas?

Maybe you favoured one leg, without knowing it, so it took the first stair etc. The sensation you describe is what I see as repair and build and I’m getting it a lot more in my right leg than my left... I swear my left can do 10k already. If it persists go get it checked out, but it sounds normal to me.

That might well be the case! I might give it a rest for a few days and see how it feels. Thanks!
