i'M CONSISTANTLY GETTING PAIN/STIFFNESS IN MY LEFT LEG(ESPECIALL SHIN) WHILE TRRAINING. dOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY SPORT SPECIFIC DR'S IN NEW YORK CITY.....

I am by no means a Doctor so take this with a grain of salt but it sounds like shin splints. When I ran in high school I had a MAJOR issue with these. It got so bad my junior year that had to use cruches. The cause could anything from wornout or bad fitting shoes to bad form. What I had to do to fix it was to strengthen it. My coaches added an extra part to my workout each day that consisted of toeing up to a stair or any elevated step and droping my heal and then just pushing up. I did about 100 of these per foot for about 2 weeks, and about a ton of ice, before the pain finally was gone.

That is just my two cents but if you feel the pain is greater then that then you are smart in wanting a doc to check you out.

Thanks for the help.
