Oh, Becky? I heard rolling a tennis ball with your foot helps. Advil works wonders, but I don't take it for many reasons.  |

or ice, but who really wants to sit there and ice down shins afterwards lol. I was thinking maybe orthotics could help? |

There are a few things you could try...shoe inserts that absorb shock, calf/shin supports (which look like socks), or even taping, which is inexpensive but can be a pain, literally, lol.  |

I've suffered with them on and off for a long time hun...someone told me its because I dont warm up enough before power walking, and I can understand that being the age I am now, it probably wont get any better, but it always happened when I was younger as well...I've tried everything, and you are right, you can still work through it, its afterwards it hurts like heck!!! hope someone can help you with yours....cheers  |

I have a bone spur..I find really good tennis shoes help, also good everyday shoes are important. When it really hurts ibuprofene helps..I figure the same probably goes for shin-splints.  |

I have the same problem! The only thing I know to do is to stand in front of a curb on the side of a road, place the tip of your toes on the top of it and lean forward to try and stretch the muscle., Oh Yeah, start with your leg straight and then bend your knee. Those things are such a pain I would say do whatever you can to get rid of it!  |
