Running on the toes does make it worse. That's why sprinters have continuous shin-splint problems. That's why the exercise of walking on heels helps -- it strengthens the muscles that are hurting so that they won't hurt so bad. I"m not explaining this very well -- take my sister's word for it and try the exercises I described above. They helped me and nothing else did.

Dexter -- If by last night you mean, Dec 20, then the answer is no. But what kind of a weird question is it anyway?
