I know this thread has probably already been made, but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have any tricks to get rid of shinbang as fast as possible?

nope. you gotta rest. Ice and heat as much as you want, it will not hurt it.

Literally type the word "shinbang" into the searchbar and you'll be overwhelmed by the number of threads prescribing full tilts.

So much this. I swear by the stuff and have used it for everything from general shin bang, post-surgery recovery, general aches and pains.

It just works well. Used to be real hard to track down, but not so much these days. The gel is great but the small round pills, if you can find those, are great.

It is cause of the muscle on your shin. Use the back of a big spoon and some lubricant and rub it on the muscle on your shin to break up scar tissue. Does wonders. I just use my knuckles cause I am lazy and dont really get it

You're landing backseat, I'll almost guarantee it. Work on your pop off the jump, and if you land backseat don't fight it just take the fall.

threads. my shinbang is fucking bad. Might just be a badly fitting boot, but my other is fine. When I'm skiing it doesn't bother me much, but damn... after skiing... right now so much pain. Ice and heat!

Relevant question to thread. I've been riding the same pair of boots for two years now and last year they gave me no problems. Though this year I have been experiencing a lot of shin pain especially because I have been tightening my straps more tighter than I have last year. I also never experienced shin bang so I don't know if this is shin bang. Is this A) My boots don't fit anymore? B) My shins aren't use to my boots being tighter. or C) Man up and deal with the pain? +k to whoever can help me figure this out!

Robot legs. It's a risky procedure, but it'll be worth it.

RICE
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

Also massage it out. It was said earlier but for emphasis - Use some lotion or other lubricant and either your knuckles or spoon and work on the muscle next to your shin to bust up the scar issue.

Although they'll just call you dumb and tell you to go to a boot fitter and spend a bunch if money, I'm realizing now why that threads been dying down recently. But if you can ignore the snobbery that's really where the best advice comes from

Regulars are just of tired seeing the SAME threads appear over and over by people who clearly are not using the searchbar nor looking at the stickied threads that have already answered their question 4 times. Just like this stupid thread.

#1 SOLUTION: Tighten your goddamn boots and lean forward. I really can't understand why so many people get shin bang, stop leaning back, and seriously tighten your boots. Also, that Arnica gel is pure magic. use it.

TAssuming you have a removable liner, get new liners. The boots have slowly packed out and now you have to tighten them more due to wiggle room.

Make sure there isn't space between your shins and the liner, if so, look into a booster strap. I've also seen this thin black silicone thing used that slides into your sock up against your shin.

Forcing a backseat landing causes it, but can be impossible to prevent sometimes. (for example, backslapping a monster drop and NEEDING to ride it out, because there's trees in the landing that you don't feel like tomahawking into.)

I made a thread on it here:

If you don't feel like reading it, I basically say this chinese analgesic medicine numbs your shins for temporary relief if you need to compete, or want to ski injured. (not recommended, but if it's a powder day, vacation, or competition, It's worth the added recovery time from ignoring the pain and shredding anyway.)

In most cases oversize of boots and backseat landing is the main reasons for this.Try filling the under of boots until they are tighter.Or else try using booster straps under your boots.They will be very beneficial.
