Answer: Hello there and thanks for using Wellvis

Sorry about what you are experiencing and youve come to the right place for advice

You have done a good job noticing these details about the pain in your leg and possible trigger running And I also see that this joggingrunning is part of your weight loss journey Congrats by the way for this bold step 

However your body is sending you a signal to take it gradually and I will recommend you do so You can still get moving by doing walking Brisk walking is almost as effective as jogging as it gets your heart and muscles of your body working 

Doing any exercise with discomfort is a recipe for issues in future You may have a muscle tear a sprain etc Take it gradually do brisk walking and then as you proceed you can blend some walking with some jogging as you proceed just so you do not overwhelm your body Also taking rest days in between is important to get your body recovered and rebuilt injured tissues

I also hope this is not affecting your way of walking from normal to limping your posture the way you stand or spreading to other parts of your left lower limb your left thigh your left foot or beyond

Just a little tip on weight loss remember to eat healthy too Exercise compliments a healthy diet and the results are amazing
