Are my shins going to die this season?

forgot /rant

strengthen your shin muscles/ tape them see if that helps, search bar for how to do these things

when you say tape, you mean really tight tape right on the skin?

cool dude..im not 12 i know its gonna rip my leg hair out...plus i wasnt looking for tips i was just ranting because im kinda pissed i got it from kicking a soccer ball and now it hurts to walk.

try using your foot next time lol

They are definitely shin splints which you got by running in soccer. Rough go.

you use prewrap... its like foam tape that you put under the tape, both to cushion it and save the hair. also, if this continues to happen, see a physical therapist, they can usually help with things like this. also, don't be a pussy.

shin splints suck. i bought gel inserts for my running shoes and they went away after time. shin splints are caused by your shin, its by your foot/shoe

this

shinbang is similar, but more of a bruising instead of shin splints which is more of a tearing in the muscle caused be running excessively when you arent used to it.

False.
Shin splints are called shin splints because they are a splintering of the shin bone. The shin is slowly breaking, and if nothing is done overtime, and there is continual harm done to the shins, you will end up with a broken leg.

Cheers!

you are kidding me right? i am quoting straight from this website http://www.watfxc.com/TF/TF%20Education/shin_splints.htm

One of the most common injuries that are experienced in Track and Cross-Country is know as shin splints. As a high school runner I constantly suffered from them. My races and workouts were always curtailed. I was only able to do half of the workouts and races. My junior year in cross-country was a difficult year. I suffered from shin splints the entire season. After the state meet, barely able to walk, I went to my family doctor. He told me that I would never be able to be a runner because of the difficulties that I experienced with shin splints. In my junior year of track I started the season suffering again from shin splints. After two weeks into the season my coach told me to turn in my uniform thinking there was no point in training. Unfortunately I had a coach that knew very little about shin splints. I missed a lot of running in high school that could have been avoided. Shin splints can be treated and better yet avoided.



What Are They
Shin splints is a common term used for a half a dozen lower leg problems ranging from nerve irritations to tendonitis to stress fractures. The most common type that is experienced involves the tearing away of the muscle tissue that attaches to the front of the lower leg. The beginner runner and the runner that resumes training after a long lay off are most susceptible to this injury. The connective sheath attached to the muscles and bone of the lower leg become irritated, resulting in a razor-sharp pain in the lower leg along the inside of the tibia or shin bone. Shin splints can be felt anywhere from just below the knee down to the ankle. The pain may diminish after warming up but then returns a few minutes after the completion of a workout.





How Are They Caused

There can be several causes for shin splints. Only when possible causes are identified can shin splints be eliminated.

Possible causes include:

· Tight Achilles and calf muscles.
· An inexperienced runner just beginning to run.
· Running on uneven terrain.
· A sudden increase in faster running (speed work).
· A sudden change from soft to hard running surfaces.
· Running in worn down shoes.
· Excessive uphill running.
· Poor running mechanics which include excessive forward lean, excessive weight on the ball of the foot, running with toes pointed outward, landing too far back on the heels causing the foot to flap down, and overpronation. There is a drill that I do with my runners at Selah High School called silent running. I have them run on the track as quiet as possible. With the feet landing properly very little noise should be heard. Of all of the possible causes, pronation is the most likely to be overlooked, as it was for me in high school.

flexible boots are the key. we all have that bad pain on shins if u ski park i believe.

yes you will die.

I've had shin splits a couple of times from running as had at least half of the kids on my team. Focus on stretching your calfs a lot and do the calf stretch with your toes pointing slightly inwards and outwards to isolate different parts of the muscle. What happens is the calf muscle wraps around and attaches to the shin. When it gets really tight it pulls at the shin bone where it attaches. Hopefully you're just at the early stages and loosening up your calves will be enough. If left untreated it starts to pull away the bone (shin splintering = stress fracture). If it progresses to this point you'll be in an air cast for at least a couple of months. Also important to note that xrays won't detect this type of fracture, you'll need to actually get a bone scan for them to see it.

in short, yes

i got a interesting version of shin splints this summer. i took a fall on a tramp at woodward and got a deep bruise on my calf and thigh. then I ran in shitty shoes, then i played hockey, all within a few days. after that I didn't really sleep for a couple of weeks. one of the worst pains i've ever had. not terribly relevant, but i feel your pain bro, shin splints/shinbang suck(s)

not, i'm pretty damn sure its small tears in the meniscus, although literal shin splints would be quite the bitch. or maybe my sarcasm meter is broken

To avoid shin splints you gotta get your legs used to running.
To avoid shin bang you gotta BUY FULL TILTS.
