Has anybody here every had shin splints before?
I play football and run a lot, and over the past few months, a pain's developed in my right shin :/
I rested it for about a week, and played a game of football today, only for it to get 10 times worse.. before, I'd get shooting pains in my shin when running, but walking was fine. Now, whenever I take a step, I feel the same shooting pains.
Don't even get me started on walking up the stairs O_e
My dad thinks it could be a stress fracture, but I'm hoping it's 'just' shin splints. Anyone had any similar experiences / have any advice on what to do? When I rest it, then resume exercise after a week, it just gets worse :/
