there are many different reason why people get what is called shin splints ( shin splints is now an old term as it generalizs the condition ) i have for years had problems with my shins, after years of physio, poditry, slow build up programmes, multiple iceing, medication. i saw a surgen who operated on me to cure a form of compartment syndrome............the result was great.........i was running 5 times a week, tennis, football with no problem............how ever i now have another problem know as mtss............i will be starting my treatment next week which will mean new insoles made, streching and strenghing of clam, thigh, hamstring, buttucks and spine and back as well as 3 sets of injections over a 3 month period

the best thing you can do is stop training as ity could become a chronic problem....get checked by a good physio so the cause is found
