Understanding SHIN SPLINTS and how to fix it.

[@loraz5343]

Thank you thank you thank you for such a CLEAR and STRAIGHFORWARD video! No advertisements or witholding expert advice for payment -- I don't think you even introduced yourself -- you just want people to avoid what you went through and to get better! Thank you again. This has helped me figure out what I have and given me a plan to get better. I was very confused because I'm not a runner, but I am a climber who's been doing a lot of slab climbing which involves lots of pressure your feet. I'm super sad to have to stop climbing, but every injury is an opportunity to listen to your body and become stronger than ever before.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You are most welcome. I'm glad the video was able to shed light on your shin splints cause. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@EtherealBias]

I've been a runner since 12 and I'm now 29. I've been a Regional Gold medalist in track, Spent 5 years in the Army, ran 3 marathons and I've never experienced an injury. I've been dealing with shin splints for the last YEAR now and they won't go away so this is a video I greatly appreciate. It's been a frustrating thing because with my metabolism starting to slow, running was something I really relayed on. I'm glad this is a very to the point video where you can listen to it while doing the exercises.

[@Horus137]

Hey man how are you doing after a month?

[@EtherealBias]

​@Horus137 hey man! A few days ago I went on a brisk. 5 minute run for about half a mile and I didn't feel anything so I was feeling pretty positive. However, I did a second run at about the same slow pace and I started to feel a bit of discomfort on my shin towards my ankle. Previously the shin splints were so bad I actually ended up getting x-rays to make sure it wasn't a stress fracture as my legs would visibly shake after a run. So unfortunately my recover isn't quite there yet but I'm hoping in 2 or 3 weeks it'll be fully healed. It's progress but unfortunately it's not quite 100%

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

[@NoNonsenseFarming]

Hey, I just started walking daily for 7 miles and I am on my 18th day and I’m on the second day of experiencing what I now understand is a shin splint. My initial reaction was that my muscles were sore and like regular weight lifting or something it would go away. I was 126 kilos almost a year ago and I am 90 now but it was all achieved through a proper diet. I started to get really into talking around 17k steps a day and this is why I am now in this video! This is the second day and I found this video after I noticed that continuing doing what I was doing was making it worse. Thank you so much for you video, although I’ll be honest that it hurts me to have to rest it out from the walking activity I was starting to enjoy so much. I’m going to try all this out and hopefully it doesn’t knock me out of the game for too long because I am really enjoying my daily walks and I wanted to share with people how this could also happen just by walking! And of course I know my weight and activity level had a ton to do with it. Thanks again for this video, I learned a lot and I appreciate it very much. (Edit: the pain went away with a combination of a few days of resting, new walking shoes and massaging the spots that felt tender and the specific stretching that people recommend for shin splints. Hope this helps anyone else starting out.)

Great video! Working on single leg stability is what helped me after 2 years of painful running. Just start out with ballancing on a single leg with a slightly bent knee and then progress by doing it longer, have your eyes closed or using stability equipment.

[@JDH-1888]

I’ve suffered with shin splints since I was a teenager, I’m 58 now and still suffering I can remember going to see my local GP when I was teenager and saying I think I have what is called shin splints and his response was “ we don’t recognise them “ , it took me a few years until a different doctor sent me to the local hospital where they X-ray my legs and after that I was laid on a bed and had weights put on the ends of my legs , I was told then I had an amount of small stress fractures in each leg , that was fine after 12 weeks rest but they still came back , I’ve tried all sorts of remedies hot , cold even ultrasound gadgets

I have suffered with shin splints in the past. I bear the scars from them in the form of bumpy shin bones. Just returned to running 5 months ago after a considerable break. Have eased back in slowly & thankfully after completing my first 10k in 5yrs no shin pain. I can remember having to hobble home though 😢

I found that I had a low vitamin D level and the pain was actually in the bone. Fixed the issue by getting my vitamin D levels up to an optimum blood range (50 - 60 ng/DL (125 - 150 nmol/l) and now I'm fine. Can now even do 10k runs.

[@thomasmokone5994]

Am on a same problem with u

[@LazySillyDog]

I started taekwondo when I was 12 and i think thats whats prevented a lot of bodily injury for me as an adult. Ive since moved on to jiujitsu and ive never had any type of leg/ankle injury despite many instances where i should have broken something or gotten shin spints from other training. I used to run and train taekwondo with ankle weights on and everyone told me id get shin splints but i never did. I truly believe it was because i started training lighter at a younger age and slowly built up my legs. My shoulders have taken a beating from jiujitsu, but my legs are peachy

[@abhinavsabharwal2324]

That's amazing brother I so wish I had not stopped playing tennis at 13 These injuries were virtually nonexistent in my childhood Now at 27 after years of unuse a mild running has given me immense shin pain It sucks

[@TheRealZwischen]

The top comment on a video about how to fix shin splints talking about how they never had shin splints and they apparently did it right sums up every shin splint conversation I've ever had with someone who couldn't relate. Looking forward to your comments on videos about depression and how an upbeat attitude has prevented you from ever being depressed. Inciteful stuff!

[@GoldenGodofortnite1234]

Hope u recover❤❤❤

[@LazySillyDog]

@TheRealZwischen Thanks! I posted my experience for context, maybe someone reading it will take initiative and train their legs more which will prevent the injury in the first place, or encourage their children/a friend to train in a way that bulletproofs their legs from minor injuries. There would be a lot fewer injuries if more people were educated on preventative measures, even if not for themselves, for a loved one or friend. Go eat an ass 🤗

[@unchartedpath6140]

Thank you for keeping the instructions simple and easy to follow!

[@gaywilding2610]

Thank you so much, I’m 73 years old and am experiencing shin splints for the first time. I walk around 5km a day, but I think it’s my foot biomechanics that might be the culprit as I’ve had a big toe fusion 5 years ago. This now prevents me from standing on my toes so I need to find alternative ways of strengthening. I’m so pleased I found your generous information.

[@kamilo4989]

Thanks for sharing your personal story. I have hyper-kyphosis and it's easy for me to get shin splints just from walking too much because of all the muscle imbalances. I appreciate your comment that there's no one right answer to etiology and that you want to look at what's causing the issue such as weak glutes or dropped arch.

[@felixglaessgen5393]

Things like biking and swimming have helped me lessen the pain and get the blood flowing

[@TheINFP_Diary]

i'm not a runner, but i did a 5 k about two weeks ago now, i did so much better than when i did the same 5 k three years ago (because i've been on a health journey) I got a lot of confidence from that run and started using the treadmill at my small gym. I noticed a pain in my right shin much more after i ran at the gym, today i ran on it a little again, it hurt like a b*tch, but i'm happy i'm watching this video, because now i'm icing my leg and will stop running till it heals. What I thought was even more crazy, was a few days ago i got the insane urge to buy a bike, and i also got a huge tub meant for horses and cows to drink from (im going to use it for ice baths or just to soak outside.) Anyway, i still really wanted that bike and just got it today before i watched this video, I was so amazed when you said "pick up something else like cycling" My jaw literally dropped, the universe is just so awesome 😂❤ (P.S my 5 k time was 36:37, keep in mind the last time i did one was three/four years ago and i didn't even finish that one because i got lost!😂)

[@purushotamsharma1170]

Thank you so so so so much, experiencing shin splint because I just started badminton last week which has a lot of running and jumping. I wasn't able to understand why I was experiencing this pain and what to do about it. I didn't even know that It is called shin splint. It feels extremely good to finally find the right information.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You are welcome. Glad to hear that the video has been helpful. Please let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@MrSupernova111]

Pretty cool! I started running a couple of months ago twice per week and about 2 miles per run. At some point I started feeling some discomforts but not knowing what I was I kept running. Then, the last time I went running I felt this stinging pain in my left tibia and calf muscle when I got back home. I believe its shin splints so I stopped running altogether. The first few days I only rested my legs. Now, I'm doing strengthening exercises like the ones in the video and using foot rollers/balls to loosen up my feet. Walking doesn't bother me whatsoever. Also, I believe my toes are slightly deformed due to wearing shoes for too long during the day. I'm correcting all these issues hoping I can get back to running in 3-4 weeks (October) since my last run. Ultimately, if I don't heal I'll take a break until spring next year. It sucks having to take a long break from running but I'd rather take the time to heal than to have permanent damage.

[@Agraenn]

Started running about 2-3 monhs ago, made enough progress to now do 5k+5k+10k runs every week. The 10k run sometimes ends up with light shin splints, not too painful, a 1/10 pain I would say. What seems to help is massaging the area in the hours/days after the run and the calf exercise that you mentioned in your video. I will stop increasing running distances and keep my current routine until I feel more comfortable with my 10k runs.

[@teddybear1829]

This helped my partner who has been doing 200kg hip thrusts for 8 months

[@Anteater23]

Had this problem for about 8 years. If I even do a 10 minute run once a week I will start getting the pain again after not too long.

Great video. I've had recurring problems with shin splints since I was a kid, up till now largely due to not understanding the causes and how to treat it. It put me off running most of my life because it shattered my confidence, I thought it just wasn't for me. I wish they taught this stuff in school gym class - there is zero instruction on running form and leg strength training. I started running again recently and was overly excited, so increased my pace faster than my body was ready for, so I'm back to square one again. It's so frustrating but as you say, better to focus on increasing strength rather than keep running - for now. Thanks for the advice...

[@Lesgunia]

Most comprehensive video I've found about this and how to address it. Thank you very much for sharing this openly! I've increased my frequency to daily runs and it has resulted in the pain described in the video. What surprised me is that after 1 - 1.5 km the pain has disappeared for the rest of the run. The pain itself wasn't that unbearable, but of course, noticeable. What I did to address it is that I've stopped for a 5 days, massaged my legs and used Voltaren (local inflammation decreasing gel) on the area. I've done a test run yesterday. The pain has decreased a lot and after a few hundred meters, I had no issues. Currently planning to do these exercises for the rest of the week, then give another try for a test run. I'll also adopt these exercises to my warm up routine for the future.

[@andrewhoccom2720]

I would also like to add that shin splints can be caused by having any form of nerve damage. Have extensive nerve damage throughout my left leg and hip so I'm prone to shin splints all the time. Where as in my right I have never had it

Excellent explanation and ways to correct the issue to get back to activity. My partner is going take time with this approach to get back to running. I feel he's doing to much and should alternate walk/run days with walking only or cycling running again but and some exercise to strengthen up the weak links. Some glute exercises would be heloful too. He has just started running again as he is an avid cyclist who doesn't walk too much. He did have this issue years ago. I will encourage him to exercise some as my clients feel the positive effects of even simple exercise. Thx. 😊

Never done running but I do a lot of walking and I dance for a hobby. Recently I developed what I think to be shin splints and it's been agonising torture. I like to walk the 1.5 miles into work and then home again but since about a month ago I've been having to stop at least 4 or 5 times on route because the pain is too much. It starts as a burning down the fonrt of my leg and quickly intensifies until it feels like my leg is just made from searing acid. Anyway, watched this video iced my leg for 20 minutes every couple of hours (as per NHS advice for shin splints) and now when at home I do heel walking to get around the house. The results have been pretty much overnight. It's still painful but I now only need to stop 2 or 3 times instead of the 4+ before and the pain is dulled from an 8 down to 4 maybe 5.

[@chebbzz7006]

I have Shin Splints. In my case it happens when too much too soon. I was a sprinter. I ran without any issues. I then become lazy and got some fats and weights. Now when I am trying to be fit, my shin bone is chilling and in no mood for working. So take care of it like your girlfriend. You have to know when you are overpushing Or overtraining. U can't date a girl and marry her on that very moment. You have to be patient. And as for the cure of this I can say that a long rest and slow increase in intensity has worked for me. I know you've got it. Oh and by the way you can convince your Shin sooner and easier than that girl of yours. Trust me.

this is the best Shin Splints video on KZbin; thank you. my pain-point is less-typically located higher-up my shin - about 1/3 of the way down from my knee; at the intersection line of the top and middle third of my shin - so does this mean the cause for me is less my Soleus muscle and more something else? is the Soleus stretch still what i should be focusing on?

Great video Ashley. Last week my 1000 mile run through the UK ended because of shin splints. I went and had a X ray and then a MRI done to determine if there was any stress fracture. Nothing. I am now 10 days on since the injury occurred and are feeling really good. Zero pain, have done some of the last stretches you referred too and no pain. I am doing a 1400 mile run in 6 months time, so want to make sure my recovery is thorough.

Thank you for the information.. who should i be showing this to like who is a trained professional? A sports physio?

[@MyPigletFarts]

I get them when i walk fast which i do often. But when i was born i had leg metal leg brace since my legs curved more than normal because my mom belly space was too small

Hey so, I've mostly played football in fields with grass, or syntethic, but it was all good, but last three weeks i played in cement fields, and this past saturday, even though i was playing in the grass one, i felt like an aching pain to my shins and i couldn't even run, every step was hurting, if i touched my shins it felt like if i had got a hit from someone playing, but that wasn't clearly the case. To resume, thanks a lot for the video and for the explanation! Been doing the stretching part and it seems to cool off the pain. Again, thanks a lot. 🇦🇷

Thank you for this wonderful visual instruction - it was very clear. I had revision knee surgery 9 months ago, which was very successful and now I am hiking and swimming like normal. However this shin pain is waking me at night and occurs spontaneously during the day. My anti-inflammatories (voltaren) sometimes reduce the pain but not always. I have started using fins when swimming which could be aggravating the pain. What are your thoughts?

[@MrSupernova111]

Wow! How's the progress?

I’m 62 female, started working a job on hard concrete floor since September 2023. I wear orthotics and good shoes. I have a shin splint on my right outer lower leg. Any 💡 ideas. I do bike 3 days a week

My first case of shin splints are here, and my right shin has been in non stop pain for 2 weeks now. I’m getting annoyed. It’s much more painful than I imagined over the years

[@PD-zu4ei]

My shins hurt terribly when driving in heavy stop-go traffic (brake, clutch and gas pedals). To the point I fret that I might crash into a car ahead with a sudden uncontrollable press of the gas pedal. The pain goes after a couple days rest. Is this a shin splint problem? Which muscle groups should I strengthen. Thanks a ton for explaining the muscles visibly on a model.

[@thomasphelan7054]

I find it stranger how when I play sports eg basketball. I barely feel the pain but when I go for my weekly runs the pain comes back when I slow down

[@texasgrown2021]

I have pain from just walking… I take about 20k steps a day and my pain is on the outside of my left leg… and it really hurt to walk on the hard ground… when I walk on soft ground it doesn’t hurt to walk… and I walk that much at work… I work with race horses so I have to walk all day everyday…

[@ShanePerry11]

Watching you pop off that piece of the fake leg 🤣 me laying here with leg pain wishing I could pop off the sore parts and just lay them on the nightstand..

[@Fatihkilic075]

Surprisingly... ankle bands + some compression (tight socks) seems to do wonders.

[@mdippa]

You kept focusing and only talking about the inside of the shin, but I only get shin splints in the muscles on the OUTSIDE of the shins. Would have been good if you talked about that.

[@AndySanchez-jl4pg]

Que ejercicio debo de hacer y durante cuanto tiempo si tengo que fortalecer mi tibial posterior?

[@UserChris21]

Hi I’m a physio…This is amazing video… but how do u differentiate between posterior shin and anterior shin splint

[@arkansastrey9694]

What of the pain is on outside of the shin ?
