Shint splints are painful M/F I have never done a cycle but I get intense pains at the front and sides of my shins.If I walk at a fast pace or a long distance then bang the pain is there.

I read up on it and found out how I got them they do heal but mine were x-rayed and my shins are full of multiple hairline fractures that don,t heal.I,ve come to live with it now and when it hurts I grit my teeth and carry on.

Obviously you now what causes it and I,m not sure if AAS causes it but it is uaslly running on hard surfaces that have no flex in so you shins take the impact.Using treadmills are a good cause of them as well.

Air cushioned trainers stop all that ......nope when i got mine checked I was told this is the biggest con there is running in sand is the best way to run it offers more absorption as does grass
