Hey everyone, been having a bit of a problem with shin splints recently. Ive been out of running for about 4 weeks because of them and last week I went to the doctor because I honestly though something was wrong, like having a stress fracture. They took xrays and said no, it was probably just highly inflamed tendons in my legs. She prescribed me anti-inflammatory steroids and basically said ice it and stay off it for a while, if it continues to be problem we will go from there.
Any of the coaches (or anybody really) have any advice on this? I really want to get back to running but it’s still a little painful to even walk. How long can it take for shin splints to get better?
Thanks for help in advance.
