I'm hoping someone on my flist will have a suggestion that may help as this pain has been ongoing for weeks now.

I had very bad chest around the Xmas/New Year period and had to pretty much give up any kind of exercise as even walking made me feel as though I was being shot in the chest.

That's gone now, I finally found a way of dealing with it (vicious massage of what was clearly a pulled muscle of some kind)

The hard part has been getting fit again from an almost zero baseline.  I've now got pretty much back to normal again, I can swim fast, do my normal gym workout (though it still leave me wiped), morris dance and walk for a couple of hours.

The real problem is that I can manage the exercise without pain, but about 5 mins after I stop, I get severe pain in my left thigh.  The pain can last a whole day and nothing seems to stop it.  Stretching helps a little, but only a little.  If I go through my warm up routine, the pain will reduce for a few minutes, but then it comes back again.

After a day with no exercise the pain will have reduced, but I don't want to become immobile again!

Can anyone suggest (the doctor had no ideas) why it doesn't hurt until I stop exercising?

Cold makes it even worse, but heat doesn' t make a lot of difference (tried hot water bottles)

Working on the computer is really difficult, because the leg gets really painful after a few minutes stilling down.

I'd really like this pain to be gone by Redemption, or I won't be able to sit down for any programme items!

Help !  All advice welcome.
