babysteffee Posted September 20, 2001 Posted September 20, 2001 I'm fairly certain that this is to do with too much running...I've got pains in my shins, no pain in the knees or ankles, just the shins. I've been reading about something called shinsplints... Just wondering if you have any tips on how to get rid of it. Or how to prevent it in the first place.
Kickbutt Posted September 20, 2001 Posted September 20, 2001 Hi Baby, I have the same problem - I think it's shin splints. A friend of mine has had them too. I personally think it's because I don't wear shoes in class (we're barefooted) and my shins absorb alot of the impact of training and we do alot of running to warm up. I also do cardio and if I think that the impact of that contributes as well. I still have them too!!!

babysteffee Posted September 20, 2001 Author Posted September 20, 2001 Awww that's nasty! We don't do our class barefooted thank god, only to kick...definately not the warm-up...yikes, I don't think my poor shins could handle that. What you say is probably right...I only get these pains when I've been doing a lot of roadrunning, like the GNR last weekend...and they only last a week or so. Awww, I really feel for you though, the pain's awful...
kicker Posted September 20, 2001 Posted September 20, 2001 same here we have to do our stuff with bare feet but you can but shin pads!! when you do your best it`s going to show. "If you watch the pros, You will learn something new"
Kickbutt Posted September 21, 2001 Posted September 21, 2001 Yeah, I had to start wearing those a long time ago cause I'd go home with huge bruises on my shins. I can't imagine what they'd look like now if I didn't wear them! Anyways, I asked my Sensei tonite what I can do to help and she said that running backwards helps build those muscles. I may also wear running shoes when warming up too, see if that helps. Good luck Steffee!!

iamrushman Posted September 21, 2001 Posted September 21, 2001 shinsplints usually come from running or working out on different surfaces. such as usually running on a soft surface then converting to a hard surface. you might try warm soaks or saltz baths to relieve the tension build up in your shins. and rest is always advisable. no i'm not a doctor but i did stay at a holiday inn express the other day. rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson
