Why do my shins always hurt?

Hi so I have just been getting HORRIBE shin bang this season and I don't really get why... my boots bit absolutely perfect and I very rarely land back seat... it's just been so frustrating because it's taking me off my skis every other day. I use booster straps and always have my boots tight like they should be. Some times I take 2-3 days off with ice to let myself heal and the day I go back, I get mild shin bang for no aparent reason. I'm going to the doctor soon to see if I have like a bone bruise or actual shin splints but i guess I'm just asking if any one of you has had problems like this and how did you deal with it? Thanks.

Didn't you already have a thread? There is no way was your are both skiing correctly and and have boots that fit if your shins are hurting. I'd start by taking you boots to a boot fitter to make sure they actually are fitting properly, and after that take a private lesson in case it's some weird technique problem.

You could try working out your legs. But one exercise that you can just do sitting at your desk in school or whatever is raising your foot while keeping your heel on the ground. It works the muscle in front of your shin.
