shin splints

[LB Ref]

I had problems with shin splints (and various other nagging foot/leg problems) for years before I finally broke down and went to a podiatrist. He set me up with prescription orthotics for both my everyday street shoes and my basketball shoes. It can get a little expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it (around $300 for a pair), and they take a little time getting used to, but I haven't had any shin splints since I started using them.
