What kind of Injury has to do with your Shins or Calves?
Question:
The pain is usullually in between my shin bones. The meat between my shins becomes very tender and sometimes its so bad that i cant even walk. Nothing seems to help and i like doing my running and sports but with this infliction coming everytime i try to be active, it really suppresses my physical activities. What do you think it is?
Answers:
sounds like shin splints, i've had it before ((not fun))
The connective sheath attached to the muscles and bone of the lower leg become irritated, resulting in a razor-sharp pain in the lower leg along the inside of the tibia or shin bone. Shin splints can be felt anywhere from just below the knee down to the ankle. The pain may diminish after warming up but then returns a few minutes after the completion of a workout.
Treatment in summary:
· Anti-inflammatory medications.
· Heat treatments prior to practice.
· Tapping the arch.
· Proper shoes.
· Stretching
· Running on soft even surfaces.
· Ice treatments after practice.
It does sound like shin splints. I see this all the time with runners. As far as home care goes you can ice the area and rest from running for a while. Once the pain starts to ease off, you may want to get a massage therapist or PT to work on your shin splints. The tendon between your muscles and your shin actually tear apart a little, so you will create scar tissue that you want somone to break up and let heal properly. Hope this helps.
