is there anything you can do to get rid of bad shin bang other than ice and not skiing?

apparently booster straps are really good for this.

Place your power strap under your cuff and right against the tongue of your boot. This will reduce the amount of space for movement. You can also try an Eliminator tongue (custom molding) or adding some padding.

Use advil as it will take down the swelling.

everyone at my shop said "lean forward"
thats it.
they wouldnt sell me anything.
also, dont case jumps, that kills you sooo badly.
i have stress fractures in both of my feet for those reasons... they're better now, it hurts to ski like you would not beleive though.

i think everyone has grooves in the shins... and the only way to cure shin bang is to take a week off or sack up and pill up and go shred anyways.
