[QUOTE="Murf, post: 188233, member: 21145"]
I get something similar to arm pump in my shins.  This is brought on most commonly by walking.  I have just started a fitness program, and have started walking each morning before breakfast, and about 15-20 minutes in at a moderate pace, my shins get really tight, and hard, and it starts hurting and burning.  Even though I am a fat slob at this point, I started having this problem when I was in college.  The worst few episodes of this I tried to work through it, and kept going.  I got progressively worse to the point of completely losing control of the muscle in my shin that lifts the front of my foot up.  I could pick my leg up, and  my foot would just dangle.  The worst time it took about an hour to completely recover.

I have had limited success with walking up a steep hill, and then resting before starting walking, although I am not sure because I have not had this problem every time.

Has anyone else out there experienced a similar problem?  Any solutions?
