Oh shin splits... I have fond memories of track and field days where after my race I couldn't walk afterwards. Get a running sneaker that has a dual density sole. ASICS Gel Kayano's are awesome for this. A lot of the time, shin splints result from over-pronation and abnormal movement while running. A stabilizing sneaker can help this. I had the worst shin splints ever until I got orthodics which almost instantly helped. The way you're running is probably the cause of your shin splints, because for jogging you should be striking heel to toe.Marshall said:Hi,
I read the article by para on shin splints (very good)
Im wondering if you guys think i should go see a doctor for help, or if you know the best thing to do?
Ive had S.S for as far back as i can remember, and i dont remember it ever going away. Only last year my gym teacher told me i probably had a problem called shin splints, i always thought it was just muscle burn when i was younger. Until the pain started to get so bad that after 10 minutes of running my shins would be burning a hole in the ground.
I use to run on just my toes usually, which would make me very bouncy. My teacher said it was probably making my calf (or shin) muscles wayy too strong compared to the other muscles around my tibia and making them flame up or something.
He told me to just rest and do a thing where you crunch up a towel with your toes, and that it helps flex all the muscles in your lower leg.
I wasnt very dedicated to the towel thing tho, so here iam with them still. I want to get rid of them now tho for i can begin to exercise much more during my G12 year coming up, and then eventually join the CF. I decided not to take Gym12 for i wouldnt be put into situations of large stress on my shin splints.
Also, is there any drugs to hell combat possible inflamation in the shins?
Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Pretty much right on the button. You should have days off of working out anyway, and if you don't, you're doing it wrong.adahmani said:paracowboy
Shin Splints, Blisters, and PT

Thank you very much for posting the info.
i wokrout 3 hours a day / 7 days a week, for personal pleasure and for martial arts + i want to be more than ready for the army when i join. I am kinda sure i have a shin splint because i do a lot of rope skipping ( 20-30 minutes a day ). and now i'v been feeling this pain on my left leg on the side of my shin .. i guess right between the muscle and the shin. I thought it would go away after few days but it's still bothering me not as much as the first few days tho.
I am not sure if i should take few days off.. i can already hear you guys say what a dumb *** stop playing the big macho man and take a week off .. anyway
To all of you guys in the army, thank you for what you are doing , we are proud of you
