to start out with i have some spk's. i am always riding in pain. my entire shin/calf hurts but my ankles are fine. last year i had no problems. early this year i started to get some shin bang. went to my local ski shop and they put a heel lift in and gave me some eliminators. this helped my shins heal and i ditched the eliminators. but i am now getting this aching pain (diff from shin bang) every were in my leg whenever i flex my skis (pressing, recovering landings, etc...) it gets worse and worse until i cant even ride. i have tried every combination of boot bucle tightness but nothing seems to help. im really lost and need some help.

but on a more serious note, either you are landing backseat alot, or you have shin splints. I recommend just resting and icing alot after skiiing, and start using the eliminator. I know it will hurt but make sure there is no extra room between your shin and the boot, buckle em up until there is no wiggle room. try doing heel raises, or walking on your heels around the house to build up the muscle that surrounds your shin.

best of luck, i had a similar problem earlier this year, and i happen to have full tilts... woops shouldn't have mentioned that...
