Yea, I hate those damn things .. I don't get them often, but if they come the only thing you can do is stay away from the running until they heal! There's nothing you really can do about it ... the best thing to do is run on grass instead of asphault. Also check your running shoes, those cause em too. If you keep running on shin splints, they can eventually turn into a stress fracture, which is NOT GOOD!


Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

Nope.

I get 'em bad. Started back in high school from playing volleyball. Now they hurt for days after a weekend of jumping if I don't stretch them good before jumping each day.

Suffer through the pain and take anti-inflammatories. You can also try wrapping them with Ace bandages if you have to walk much; I used to do that so I could get through the volleyball games.

it's all in the stretching!!! there are a few exersises i could show you to help reduce and eliminate them but they are to hard to explain on the net.......


i don't get em anymore though...well since i decided that exersise and me don't go well together...lol...

You find a way for me to get to California, and I'd be MORE than happy to give you a massage... ;)

:DI need $$$! :D

But seriously: I am so broke, it's not even funny. I don't know how I'm gonna pay for my rent next month. Has anyone ever sold plasma? ()

I can't rob a bank without a gun, and I can't buy a gun without money.

(And if you expect me to rob a gun shop, you're talking to the wrong girl. I may be stupid, but I'm not THAT stupid... :D:P)

shin splints are actually very, very, very small fractures



If you want to get all technical, I learned in physiology last year that they're an inflammation of the periosteum (which is a membrane that covers the outside of the bone)... But I've heard a lot of different explanations of what causes them. Who knows which one is right.

Good idea.

Okay, here's the plan: I rob a toy store, steal a toy gun, run to the nearest bank, use the toy gun to rob the bank, run to the nearest airport, and hop aboard the next plane to CA. Once I'm in California, I'll use the rest of the money to take a taxi to your house, where I will then give you a massage. Sounds practical.

PM me your address; I'll be right there. :P:D

I just looked it up real quick in the nejm and it can be attributed to either.



Miller-Keane Medical Dictionary gives a third one: "strain of the long flexor muscle of the toes, occurring in athletes and marked by pain along the tibia."


(Hey lagerhead- Why don't you have any info filled out on your full profile???)

Hehe, yea actually! I was born with the anti-bodies for Hepetitis B so they used to use my plasma to make vaccines ... I donated twice a week for $130 a week. Did it for like 4 months, lol, then stopped because my vein couldn't take it anymore. That extra money really helped!
