Title: posterior shin splints just does not go away
Post by: fast does lie on April 12, 2012, 04:52:48 am
I've tried- stretching, massage, spa, msm supp, foam roller, glucosamine supp, and taking 1 week break from running/jumping.  Now after 2 days of activity, it is back.

Look up the causes of shin splints. See if you have any muscle imbalances, then correct lagging body parts. Perhaps it's caused by certain muscles being tight? Stretch those ones. Or maybe it's caused by a few overractive muscles? Foam roll them.

shins are anterior?

edit: never thought about that type as posterior, more medial i guess, but apparently "posterior shin splints" is the normal term for them. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_5/196.shtml (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_5/196.shtml).

touche, mr. dunk1. touche.

turmeric, MSM.

go to an indian store and get turmeric root, it's less bitter than the powder. WIth powder mix some in hot water, or even simmer for a few min.

MSM has worked great for my knees but I don't think it necesarily helps with shin splits. It works well for joints because joits have a high amount of sulfates (highly anionic compounds), and the MSM suppl,ements that qute directly.
TUrmeric is a great anti-inflammatory. Ibuprofen is a piece of shit.
