Shin Pain
I get pain in my shins, may be shin splints. Not sure what causes them, but it makes running up and down the court a chore.
Anyone have similar pains? What did you do to help the pain besides Advil? |
Tape them up.

Don't run up and down the court. :eek:

Try doing some stretching as well to keep those muscles loose. I do a stretch where I get on my knees and then sit down on my shins while pointing my toes back behind me...that's the best way I can describe it. You should feel it through the lower half of you shins and you should do it on a soft floor. Hold the stretch for about 30 seconds and repeat 2-3 times.

I use inserts called Superfeet. They have saved me a lot of pain. "Squishy" will not necessarily help. It may help, it may hurt. You may need something very firm in the arch. Get to the running store, ask them to if they can do a gait analysis. You won't regret it. |

Agreed. Also, walk around on your heels for 25-30 steps and then your toes for 25-30 steps. Repeat. (This is an exercise to do at home as well). Do calf stretches and then calf raises (holding the raise just as you would for a calf stretch). |
Serious Answer - Shin Splints Cure
This REALLY works. I have no affiliation with this guy except it REALLY works. My daughter has huge shin splints problems and we spent hundreds of dollars on doctors and PT and inserts and it did nothing. I figured for the cost of one PT session we wouldl give it a try. This cures the problem.
Contact [email protected] for his book. I think it was $25 when I bought it. I would give you his website but can't find it now. |
