Answer 1

You may have shin splints. Most people get that when they run a lot. I know my son did and I took him to the doctor, and he was told to put an ace bandage around his shins. But you may have to see your doctor. Hope you feel better soon!

Answer 2

Sounds like you may have shin splints, pain and inflammation running down the front of your legs.

With shin splints, pain is felt on extending the toes and weight bearing. It hurts if you press the area with your finger. Physiologically, it’s an inflammation of the tendons OR muscle in this area. Pain gradually gets worse as you run, though for some types it eases when you’re well warmed up, but resumes at the end of exercise. Other types ease shortly after stopping.

Causes:
* Running with the weight too far forward;
* Striking the ground with the first third of the foot;
* Over-striding;
* Overpronation;
* Shoes too tight around the toes;
* Inflexible shoes;
* Weak arches may be present;
* Tight calf muscles stress the shin structures;
* Calf muscles too much stronger than the shin muscle...
* Which, tighten and pull on the shin muscles;
* Beginner runners are very susceptible;
* Overtraining is its trademark; especially:
* Increasing mileage too quickly;
* Running on hard surfaces;
* Too much speedwork, too early, on hard surfaces.

Try running in the grass, if that's a possibility, concrete or asphalt surfaces just aggravate the problem. Make sure to stretch before and after your run. Feel better, hope this helps.

Answer 3

Actually My shins hurt sometimes too. I had been always blaming it on running track. But I guess that really is a problem.

My track coach told me that since my muscles are getting bigger from all the running, the tendons and ligaments that are holding the muscle to the bone is tearing. He told me to put on ice immediately and do it a few times a day. I think it helps. Only thing is though when I run again, the hurting comes back.

Answer 4

SHIN SPLINTS MAYBE?...USUALLY FROM RUNNING OR JUMPING...WRAP AN ACE BANDAGE AROUND IT...HOPE IT HEALS SOON!!!
