mine were so bad until i found an exercise where i face the wall, place my heel as close to the wall as possible, then push the knee towards the wall..

stretches out the muslce, and no more splints at all.. but i do it every time before, and during softball, volleyball, running..

If you're on juice, that could be the reason for the shin splints. I used to get them bad on cycle while walking around campus. I don't remember the reason they occur (I'll try to find it for you) but it's a well-known side-effect. I've never experienced them off-cycle but they hurt like a mutha.

check your shoes this always makes a big difference.

**chest6** · 07-31-2006, 12:51 PM

SVTMuscle* · 07-31-2006, 02:40 PM

sounds like you have anterior compartment syndrome...

running uphill will do it, improper shoe's, dehydration..

stretch Tib. anterior and Peroneals(longus and brevis). Stretch quickly before a run for a stimulating effect and for at least 30 seconds after a run for a relaxing effect. If your not sure how to target these muscles in a stretch, follow:
Tib. Ant. - plantarflex (point your toes) and evert them (away from each other)
Peroneals - dorsiflex (bring toes back) and invert them (towards each other)

i have compartment syndrome, sounds like you do to. See a doctor, your pain wont go away it will just get worse, trust me. The test to check is painful but the surgery is not too bad, just make sure you get multiple opinions and find the doctor who will perform the least invasive procedure if it ends up being compartment syndrome. Hit me up if you have any questions

SVTMuscle* · 12-03-2006, 10:01 AM

haha good bump, it hasnt been bothering me much at all, I go for light jogs a few nigths a week and at a medium walk they are fine, at a faster run they are fine, but a medium jog, only me right shin hurts after a while

**Joshw111** · 12-03-2006, 10:25 AM

if you notice bumps coming up, it means your muscles are trying to burst through the lining (fascia). Just be cautious because one slight impact (mine was one day playing basketball) can cause it to inflame to a point where the only treatment is like 2-3 weeks with no excercise.
