i CANNOT take this PAIN!!!!!!!?

Question

okay so i have shin splints but im afraid that they might be something more serious, like a stress fracutre.

i started spring track like a month ago, and a couple days into it, i would have pain in my shins (but not severe pain)

BUT NOW.... the pain is so severe that i can hardly walk.
the pain is severe at the beginning of a run, but then moderate in the middle and then even more severe at the end.....

HELPPPPPPP idk what to do
ive been going to my school trainer and getting my shins taped everyday but they have only gotten worse. ive also been icing and heating them but nothing seems to help
he says i should stop track all together BUT i dont want to...
**PLEASE HELP (that would be much appreciated)**

oh yeah and we have a meet type thing tomorrow

Answer 1

i know this might sound horrible but you need to take a break from running. it is the only way it can truely heal. also keep up with the ice and heat that is good. and take something for the pain(advil, etc..) i dont recommend quiting!!!!! i know how you feel. i am also involved in a sport. also i recommend seeing a doctor. just incase. i hope you feel better soon

Answer 2

I've had shin splints. That sounds like my problem. Really.. I had to stay off my legss & just rest & take pain meds & icy hott till my shins stopped hurting. If I was you, I would stay home tomorrow & rest or your not gonna be doing ANYTHING for a few days.

Answer 3

hello umm hey,
i really think you should be seen by a doctor because it sounds like you have stress fractures to me.
have him do some x-rays just to make sure you are ok.

please skip the meet tomorrow as you may really hurt yourself
i wish you the best of luck and God bless

Answer 4

dont run in your track meet tomorrow and get to the doctor
