My "shin splints" only hurts for about 15 minutes after I stop running. From what all of you say yours hurts for days. Also my feet go to sleep while I am running and "wake up" about a hour later.

You mean "go to sleep" like pins and needles? Like when circulation gets cut off?

I think when Jesus said "love your enemy" he probably meant don't kill them.

Yea I can't feel my toes good kinda sleep. I think it is from the muscle swelling up and blocking the blood flow

I don't, it's a government facility.

I get them from Ballet, as well as running. They hurt like hell.
An easy stretch.. sit on the floor with your legs out in front of you. Sit up straight, point your toes, then flex your feet, repeatedly. Then WALK for a few minutes to warm up before you start to run.

If you dont know how to point your toes to the extent where you feel a stretch in your shins, do the stretch mentioned before where you place your right foot on left thigh and pull down on your toes. Then straighten your leg and flex your foot.

They are not too tight I wore them all day today at the same tightness and my feet did not go to sleep.

I have always had them really bad, especially when I was in HS track. One season, my coach made us walk around the track backwards with our toes pulled up off of the ground every day for like 2 weeks...that was the only season I didnt get them. That exercise will help strengthen the afflicted muscle.
