Run Run Away

Question:

I have been experiencing bad cramps in both my lateral calves during running.  I do turn my ankles from time to time and I probably I have a muscle weakness which is causing both problems.  (I do invert   my feet from time to time)  Can anybody suggest appropriate running shoes for these problems?  

Response:

Bilateral calf pain may be more than an adjustment in shoes. I feel you should check with your doctor about blood flow etc-because the symptoms are bilateral. It does’nt sound like a typical calf strain. Other causes include peroneal nerve dysfunction.   Dr. M in Seattle at Joy’s Address.
