Avatar m tn Orthotics may be important in treating shin splints. Excessive pronation is often attributable to medial shin splints. In these cases, orthotic therapy is important to control pronation.
Avatar m tn To touch inside of shin is so tender and i can only crouch down for a minute at a time. Can this still be shin splints?? The operation i had 7 yrs ago i was told was for shin splints but i am unsure now that it is.
Avatar m tn I could be wrong here, but from what I've heard, shin splints are essentially muscle tissue cramping along the length of your shin. So there isn't much "healing" done by resting. Apparently they come from increasing mileage too quickly. Start back in more slowly, increasing weekly mileage regularly, but in small increments. You might be in great cardiovascular health, but your legs need to ease in. As for the forearm splints, I feel you.
Avatar n tn Ive been getting that for years hurts alot too. It is called shin splints, I ride bike instead of walking too much.
Avatar m tn Hi..shin pain or shin splints can be caused by how we walk and even our shoes....so look at have you switched to a flat sandal ? Or flip flops? I use to have this problem and my daughter being a dancer was able to show me what I was doing and how to change it....I also notice it will flare when I change shoes....as I am not as aware how I am walking when I change the shoe...... Shin splints can occur while walking, mine was always at night like yours....
Avatar f tn Lately I have been putting Voltaren gel on my forehead. I'm doing this to soothe pain from inflammation caused by increased circulation from running a lot. Is this ok? I know it takes away pain, reduces inflammation, and increases blood circulation. Also I got the blood flowing through some decadent veins and arteries on my skull. It is really annoying but gets better everyday. What do you think?
Avatar m tn oh, I should add it was operated on then to fix the hematoma.
Avatar n tn Causes of shin splints can be over-use, excessive bouncing movements, muscle imbalance, or working out on hard surfaces. So do stretches, elevate and add ice, or see a physiotherapist. In addition, poor forefoot cushion and poor balance support of footwear can excentuate the pain. Try wearing runners whenever possible and avoid heels anytime.
172023 tn?1334672284 Yeah, I was being pretty stupid! I really had no idea what shin splints were, and thought it was just a muscle spasm that would go away. I've been a good girl for several days, and will start again today with a short walk on the even terrain. I've been icing and taking anti inflammatories. It feels completely 100% fine. Will stop immediately if I get the pain back this time! Thanks!
Avatar f tn How can I help with my shin splints? Every now and then I while I'm jogging and I sometimes end up with this problem and it gets annoying and sometimes painful. Help!
Avatar m tn The FDA just announced that dicoflenac gel (brand name Voltaren Gel) often prescribed for arthritis pain is linked to severe liver damage and it can happen within the first month of use According to the FDA, this topical gel has been reported to cause liver necrosis (death of liver cells), jaundice, and liver failure some cases of which have required liver transplant and some that have been fatal! Despite these horrible side effects, dicoflenac gel remains on the market.
Avatar f tn I was told by my coach and my trainer it was probably shin splints. they would not hurt 24/7. it hurt every now and then and i would run through the pain. Both of my legs would have pain but one day it would be my left the next day it would be the right, but there was no pattern to my pain. I would tape my calf with athletic tape for my games and it would help it a bit. But just this week the pain has been so bad it hurts to just walk in my house and the pain wont go away.
Avatar m tn i started with the usual tredmil and weight lifting. i get pretty bad shin splints and usually only fast walk instead of run due to this problem. A few days ago i did some pretty heavy leg presses to work my legs after my teedmill. Then i did leg lifts. i have always had strong legs. For the past couple of days my left shin feels dumb. not the whole bottom leg, just the front directly on the shin. I fell that during the course of the day as I go about my regulat business it gets worse.
Avatar f tn It just swelled up.

Avatar f tn I have a shoulder problem and used to be on strong pain killers, but my doctor told me to change to heat rubs!
Avatar n tn I am a young athlete(I run track). Ever since I began running since the 7th grade I have been diagnosed with shin splints. In the 7th grade I had a bone scan and was actually diagnosed with stress fractures. I am now in the 11th grade(4 years later) and the track conditioning will begin next month. NOTE: I have not run since beginning of august, it is now october). So I go for a jog at the park.
Avatar n tn My question is that I am a 20 year old very active male and recently (past 3-5 months) I have experienced terrible shin splints that are on the sides of my shin. Adjacent to my shin right below my calf.. Whatever muscle that is.. Anyways in the past I have been able to go run 3 miles with no problem and no pain at All.
Avatar n tn //www.drugs.com/voltaren-gel.html. Diclofenac is voltaren and the gel contains the Nsaid. This information states clearly that aspirin should not be used at the same time. Normally, blood thinners are also not used with Nsaids. So, speak with your doctor, of course, but would advise not to use these together based on the provided information.
1395422 tn?1308016251 Possibilities that may need to be considered include shin-splints, bruise/ haematoma, periostitis, micronutrient deficiencies, neuro-muscular issues etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by a primary care physician or an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
