I think thats what i have, anyway my lower shins hurt like a bitch from my boots, i just bought boots this year (i rented before because my parents didnt want to have to keep buying boots) and now my shins really hurt, so much that i cant go skiing for a few days... any quick cure remedies or ways to stop getting these?

It's called shin bang. You get it from landing backseat. The cure for this is just to rest it and wait untill it goes away. I know it sucks but it's the only way.

Yeah it usually happens in both shins. I'm taking today off from yesterday because of that... and I can't bend my back and was throwing up all night...

Buy a Boosterstrap bitches. I used to get shin bang everytime i went up, but now with the strap i get absolulty no shin bang or bruise or soreness at all. One of the best 30 dollars i have spent on skiing--first was custom foot beds.

my shin splints have nothing to do with shinbang. They are from walking with my boots buckled, hiking park, trips to the parking lot, smoke shacks. It only hurts me from the point my heel touches the ground, to the point my toes hit the ground when walking in shoes, so unbuckle your boots when you walk and dig your toes in hiking the park, fixed it for me.

icing them after skiing and eating advil before skiing help to get through those tough times with the shin bang. seriously.

sometimes it helps to put your toes on the ground and roll your feet forward... but it depends on what hurts, your muscles, and tendons...

for bruises just ice them right after.. and then after they get a bit better (i think about a day or two after for bad ones) then put warmth on

i have/had the same problem. make sure your boots are the exact right size, mine packed out a little from last year and thats what caused initially. take them to a shop and have them fit you with a cuff or special powerstrap like the boosterstarp. buckle the top 2 buckles and powerstarp tigher then normal once they are healed enough to ride. ice them before and after you ride. get some t3's or ibp800's and pop those like candy. dont ever expect them to get better unless you take a good 2 weeks off.
