Why does my right leg hurt when I walk fast?
I consider myself a fairly healthy person. I am naturally quite skinny and I walk nearly every weekday to college, which usually takes around half an hour and I never have any issues with this particular routine.
However, When I am faced with extreme urgency and I pick up the pace during a walk to, for example a bus that I desperately want to get to, my right calf suddenly begins to ache. Sometimes it it just s small nuisance, but when I'm feeling very urgent the pain becomes very extreme and I find myself limping, even though I'm very sure I have quite healthy legs. This issue has become more common in recent weeks, but I have not visited a doctor because I'm sure I have no medical issues. I think I shall go to a doctor anyway, because I admit I don't know a lot about muscular science.
Does anybody know why my leg is doing this? The muscle feels no tighter than the one on my left leg. Part of me believes it may be a psychological thing, since it is the same leg which my brother suffered an awful traffic accident about five years ago. I know nothing of psychology so I can't say I find this likely.
Why do I suffer this pain only when I'm in a rush?

This honestly could be so many different things, and trust me, I'm not out to scare you at all, but go to the doctor, as they will have a better opinion.
It could be lactic acid, when you exercise heavily it burns, which burns off fat, sometimes if you're heavier footed on one side of your body this is why, it could be your muscle, which is strained, possibly from the exertion, beginning of cramp, it could be the veins, it honestly could be anything which is why I'd go to the doctors about it. It might not be serious but if it's hurting you like you say you need an opinion.
As for the psychological reason, it depends, how long has it been going on for? Have you been over thinking about your brothers accident lately? Or saw the condition his leg was in? It could be anything, just go to the doctors to make sure, and they'll be more certain than me:)
