   The other day I was doing some cardio and I was out jogging. I have shin splints and have had them since I was in the military but on this day they were very painful and I stretched for about an hour before but what was really weird is that I had 3 pellet sized bumps show up around the left side of my shin on my left leg. They weren't red bumps, it looked like someone had implanted 3 pellets underneath my skin. They didn't hurt when I massaged them or anything but it was very strange and that had never happened to me before. It unfortunatly brought my cardio to an end for that day and I returned home and iced my shins until all of the veins in my legs were preserved in a frozen state (I'm exaderating) Has this happened to anyone else and if so what did you do about it or what would you suggest I do?

what it could be is an inflamation of the tendon or the muscle itself in that area....best bet is lay off a while and let it rest...i had it too and laying off made it go away IP: Logged |

little bumps in the calf/shin are almost always tears in the muscle fascia the sheath that goes around the muscle- fo some reason the fascia in the calves in not very stretchy and tears- it can happen in any muscle but calves/shins and forearms are the most common places. it is not a problem- it is actually a sign that your body is trying to grow- tears usually occur when your muscle becomes really pumped and the the sheath tears because it is to tight.

the tears are permanent, by the way, so dont be suprised when the bumps come back- when your muscle gets pumped- in fact dont be suprised if they, the tears, get a larger diameter. Peace MP ------------------ IP: Logged |

so the muscle will not recover from the tear? Does this mean I can't do anymore jogging? I'm a jogging junkie and I have been doing it for years I would hate to know that I can't do it anymore IP: Logged |

it doesnt mean you cant jog anymore. it means merely that your fascia tore a bit and thats muscle swelling out of it. ive seen it alot in the gastroc of some people, i have a small one in mine. thought it looked kindof freaky for a while...heh heh. you can still jog but let those shin splints recover a bit. i had them in the military too. a good dose of not running fixed em. also take a look at your shoes and see how worn they are or if they give the proper support and shock absorption. ------------------ IP: Logged |

You will still be able to jog, you just need a little time off due to the shin splints. If you have access to a trainer they should give you some very helpful exercises to do to rid your shin splints. HARDWORK-100MPH IP: Logged |
