Does this qualify as shin splints?

[nusa]

Up like the side of my leg not sure if its my shin or something else, I usually only get them when I run. Is there a way to make them go away? I was thinking about getting new shoes, I've had the same Nike's for a year and the little air bubbled popped from a friend stabbing it.

Never used those for running. I used Nike shocks. Have u tried another shoes?

Yeah sounds like the splints..i've had mine for 12 weeks. Get some new shoes with a good support in them. Brooks have really good support and that'll help absorb the impact. Make sure you ice, and compress those shins.

Do your shins hurt like when your just sitting at home? I have been told to strengthen my ankles and walk on my toes and alternate to heels to strengthen my calf

Well most of my football practice I'm in cleats but, I mean when I'm just walking it doesn't hurt. My cleats have a nice soul and it still hurts when I run on grass.

Alright well mine are only hurting at football practice but are gradually getting worse. I'm going to try maybe some new souls in my cleats? We warm up with our normal shoes and it starts to hurt then so maybe new shoes wouldn't hurt either. Thanks for the help.

Shin splints don't really go away if you don't rest

I remember in p.e. I had to run 3 miles every day and after a week my shins felt a little sore, I just ignored it and it got to the point where I couldn't even run, just limp really fast lol

You need to work your anterior tibialis, shin splints are caused by strong calf muscles relative to weak AT. Do reverse calf raises while holding dumbbells to strengthen them.

How do you do reverse calf raises? like on my heels or what?

Yeah it's hard to explain. Look up one of the .gifs on exrx.net and you'll see what I mean.
