Shin Splints


How can I get rid of them? I've had them for a while and the pain has went down a lot, and I can jog a little without them hurting but I want to start running because I'll have to be running a lot this summer for football, and I don't want to be slow.

Thanks

I've been running for over 10 years now and have seen this problem many times. 99% of the time this is solved by getting decent running shoes.

Yep, A new pair of shoes and some stretching fixed my shin splints.

Lay OFF the running/jogging until you are healed or that muscle will continually pull away from the bone,...it'll be trying to heal, and each time you pound, it'll pull away, over and over. That makes it chronic.

Working on your hips, dorsiflexion, do tibialus raises (opposite of toe raises, and they strengthen your shins).

We work our calves, hams, quads, and neglect our shins,.... shin raises helped me a LOT.

In school, my trainer just taped my shins,....because it let me run without pain. But that's all it did, it didn't heal me or fix the problem,....just kept me on the team which was his job.

Power walking can also help to build up your shin muscles. Not running, not jogging, not slow walking up hill (that's for something else), but fast paced power walking.... you lose the impact and pounding of a run, but you really recruit those shins.

I had to stop running all together a couple of years ago when i got shin splints. After a couple of months the pain will go away. So just find a good track to run at and you won't have a problem.

I found the type of track with a black top that's rubbery, i ran all summer and did not get shin splints.

I've had shin splints before...and I know what they feel like.
Now that I am lifting more intensely this summer, I can feel "shin splints" in my forearms.

Has that ever happened to anyone?

I had that, usually it will be solved with some some exercises which involve moving your foot.
try searching the web with google you will not fill alone I promise you that

This is a good place to start
