Take it easy, don't run or anything like that

for the long term, you've got to strengthen the shin muscle

this to me was unacceptable, so instead of taking a rest, I ran my ass of for 3 weeks in pain!

it hurt so bad! but I never though t twice about it. I warmed up for 5 minutes and ran.

i said to myself...."if I warm up and stretch how could I be hurting myself....if their is pain there it must be nerves or some other sensory mechanism sending my brain false messages.

after 3 weeks of pain........one day the pain stopped....and I have never had a shin splint again!

fu** the doctors that doom you mentally. Use common sense when training I.E. warm up and cool down.........

and use the power of your mind to "will' yourself better.


If I was not me, and I read this post I would say I was an idiot, or cocky, or both........but I went through it, and succeeded.

and I know you will too.

Thanks OMEGA~

Awesome motivation!! For me teaching 2 or 3 classes a day, staying off my "feet" is really a tough option, and one that I don't want to make.....!! Your story is excellent, Sweetie....and what I love to hear!

Thanks again~

I used to have terrible shin splints (on the inside of my shin) and there were a few things I tried...

1) I tried some similar exercises that are described in the previous link. (I actually attached a strap to my toe and used the lower cables for it). That helped a little, but not too much.

2) I examined how my foot rolled/reacted when I ran. I noticed my foot was rolling a lot more than it should, so I tried to correct that. I think this helped a bit more than the exercises.

3) I bought new shoes. I was using old worn-out shoes to run in, and once I bought actual running shoes and used them only for running, it made a world of difference.

Aside from that, I've read that taking a break and starting back up again SLOWLY is an effective solution as well. This allows the tendon to heal and strengthen as you build up your mileage again. The trick is to start off easy and slowly ramp up your distance.

And remember to stretch out your calves and achilles really well, too.

A fellow runner?

I went out and got myself some new shoes...with some arch supports which seem to releave the pain some. To tell you the truth...I have never really examined my stride/how the foot is riding the pavement.
But after you mention in, I am wondering if some of the uneven terrain that I have been running on lately might have attributed to this.
Maybe I will stick to the track for the next few....

Thanks again!!
