fuck shin splints.
Anonymous
have you started to do a bunch of up hill stuff, or changed the way you lift? Shin splints are usually one of two things. Irritating the Tibialis anterior, (shin muscle) or sheering the Interoseous membrane in between the Tibia and the Fibula.
First, Rest, ice, compression and Elevation (R.I.C.E) for 15 mins on, 10 off for 2 intervals for 2 days. Properly stretch the shin muscle by walking on your heels with your toes pointed up (dorsiflexion) till you start to feel a burn in the muscle: do it for another 5 seconds. Finally, kneel down and extend your foot so that the instep(top part of your foot) is laying on the ground and lean back a bit.
Also consider proper shoes, as you may be over-ronating and that might be causing the Sheering.
