I think I have shin splints. I had them last year when I started exercising and went when I stopped. Started again and they are back worse than ever. I only ran on the treadmill for 6 minutes last week and 6 this week with a 2.5 incline.
I have a really sore pain on my inner lower shin all the way up from the ankle to about 12" below my knee. The skin on my lower legs has brown freckle type marks, is this anything to do with it?
Even walking is painful now. I would love to just cut inside so I could see what the problem was. I think it is more to do with my calf muscles being too tight and adding strain to the shins.
Does anyone know how to get this to go away, or am I destined for the rest of my life to only swimming for exercise?
