Yes for me this way never a problem until my feet started to bother me. And I think that I have a large variety of symptoms but for the most part my level of pain experienced is much lower than many on this site - the fact that I can still run is probably a testament to that. Do you have any foot pain at all? Or it it all upper leg?

At the beginning of every run, it feels like my feet are made of broken glass. They also feel this way when I get out of bed in the morning. It is very painful, but after a few minutes, I'm ok. At night, my lower legs are in a lot of pain---kind of like being stuck by needles from the inside out. Fortunately during runs my biggest issue is that my legs kind of seize up. It's a very odd sensation and my gait gets weird. It's almost like my legs don't remember how to work correctly. But I have noticed that running on grass or gravel helps with this and I can almost always run through it. For a while, my legs had a very heavy sensation and it has taken me months to get to the place I am now--running long distance again. Running is a dear friend to me and I dread the day that I won't be able to do it anymore. Like you, I feel fortunate that my sfn seems mild compared to most.
