So I just had my skates sharpened after about 2 months or so, and decided to try the newly sharpened edges at a skills class that I attend once in a while.
At first the edges seemed ok, I was turning better and stopping faster and everything was fine. After about 15 minutes of skating though everything started to go bad. I started getting cramps in my lower legs in my calves and ankles. Then my back started to ache.
Now I 'm not the best skater in the class but I'm usually don't come in dead last in every single skating drill like I did tonight. This was mostly due to pain in my legs and back. I have never experienced skating as uncomfortable as this before.
After the class I am still having pains in my back and in the back of my leg right above th ankle. I now walk with a bit of a limp.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Do you think I should try to get my skates resharpened or just try to dull down the current edges.
Thanks for any advice.
