Has anyone personally dealt with shin splints and successfully gotten rid of them?


Question:
I've read all of the crap on how to remedy, but nothing seems to work. I'm sure that someone out there has been able to get past these painful problems..I love to run, but am hindered by the excruciating pain.

Answers:
Yes, I have. However, if you're already a runner my suggestion may not be right for you. When I developed shin splints I consulted with over a dozen podiatrists. The majority, 10 or so, told me to invest in high-end New Balance tennis shoes (800 - 900 series). First I opted for the 800 series and those helped. When I finally got into 992's my problems went away fairly quickly.

So, visit your doctor, consult with a running specialist, and good luck!

I found i stopped for several days, Iced, bought new running shoes and tried to be very concious of my stride which for me is what was the problem.
try that see if it helps
all the best to you I was suffering from shin splints, too. I am doing boxing and two months ago i had that problem. What I did it was to give my legs a really good rest. No training for a month. If you suffer from shin splints and you don't give them enough rest, worst injuries can occur.
