Well there is absolutely nothing interesting on NSG right now so

hard back seat over shot landing on ice. shins hurt for a while, right one feels better in week. pain in left comes back periodically when skiing and running. I had 2 full months off skis and running skied for first time two days ago, pain comes right back.

Is this going to be a reoccuring thing or if I rest it over the sumer will it go away? not looking for NS doctors just past experiences and advice.

i had that a two seasons ago. I just put up with the pain and took tons of pain killers. Like you said it hurt to run and ski, but the pain went away over the summer.

i guess that it will disappear over summer easily. and i would say that its not something really bad, you know what i mean? its just painful but unless you really overdo it wont cause any problem... usually when i remind myself of that i can somehow put the pain in relation and ski with it easier.

AND FOR NEXT YEAR: get a fitting boot. maybe a softer one, idk. but since i have this boot, i never had shin problems.

get your pole.
press againts you shin and roll it down with pressure
its going to hurt like a bitch. but itll help for sure

be sure to ice it after

and as for running, go to a chiropractor and learn how to tape them once and youll be goldon for the rest.

Can I get a second opinion on that pole trick? that just sounds like a terrible idea but if it works I may try it.

definitely works. i had chronic tendonitis in my shins (shin splints/ shin bang) for all of my freshman year and half of my sophomore year. this works. also remember to ice it. take some time off serious activity, and tape your ankle when you do (taping isolates the muscles in your shin and makes it so they aren't in use. it doesnt protect against bangs, but it prevents them from hurting when running or putting pressure on your feet. pm me if you have more questions and ill try to help

IT kills unless you relieve the pressure on the toe bangs. also With shin splint have someone who does athletic training at your school give you an opinion. should be free if you have a half decent sports program. they can tell you whether to go to orthopedist if you need to.

As a runner, I would recommend using this: http://www.thestick.net/online/item5.htm

I can't describe what it is like, but it is called a "roller" by runners. You put it anywhere you want to roll out your muscles, either to loosen them up or just make them feel better. It is fantastic, I can vouch for it, and most runners can too. Go to your local running store or sports store and ask for a roller, they should have one.

my favorite technique for eliminating toe bang is making sure i dont have any open safety pins in my boots before i go skiing.

Lay off of them. Seriously. I got some while in soccer and kept playing on them. My doctor said they were fine, nothing broken, so I didn't really quit doing anything. Then I went back a month ago, and turns out they evolved into stress fractures. They said if I don't stop I'll be casted for 6 weeks. You can tape them. But if you don't have much if an arch, get insoles.

I'm wondering if doing lots of cycling during the offseason will strengthen my calves and the small muscle in front of the shin (anterior compartment).

Has anyone tried strengthening their legs during the summer? And has anyone had good results during the following ski season?

threads because my left ankle's been messed up for weeks now, and my treatment plan so far has consisted of either ignoring it or bitching about it.
