Shin Splints

[BillyMac]

I ended up my season in March with a minor case of Plantar fasciitis, that seemed to get worse, as I spend a lot of time on my feet at work. Very painful heel, and arch, every morning as I got out of bed. Loosened up as I went through my day. During my physical exam in the summer, I mentioned it to my general practitioner, who suggested a splint to bend my foot toward my knee at night, and a heel pad during the day. It wasn't working, so I did some research on the internet. I now use the splint at night, and I use a high arch support during the day. I no longer have the morning pain. I may use the arch support during my games this season. I'll take it one week at a time.
