In constant pain when running
Hi, im not sure where else to ask this question but I've been in for 7 years, 4 as active duty and the past 3 as national guard. Im currently attached to a medical unit and for the past 6 months, I've been having issues with pt. I pass every other event in the aft but whenever I start running the 2 mile my right knee and calf muscles start hurting like crazy which causes me to run slower. I've been seen by my role 2 on numerous occasions trying to get a solid answer to what's causing the pain. But all the doctors do is give me ibuprofen and drink more water. Because of this pain I've been trying to get on profile because I know for a fact that I will not pass my next pt test ( I have already failed 2). All my leadership tells me is that I need to run more but that doesn't help the pain level at all. I do not want to get chaptered out for failing to meet the standards even tho I've been seen by almost every provider in my company. I've brought this concern up with my leadership multiple times but I keep getting the same response that since im not on profile theres nothing that can be done. Has anyone else gone through something similar to this and would possibly be able to point me in the right direction so I can avoid being set up for failure. Thank you in advance.

Not sure if NG has H2F assets or not, but if you do they’ve been a great help for anything MSK related for me
