 Poster: A snowHead
|
Only in the left leg and they are killing me whilst skiing. Started to appear after a surgical intervention (IM nail). I tried anti-inflammatory cream and boot fitting/insoles to no avail.
Any first hand advice how to overcome (or relief) this?

@tony(mo)fo, are you sure it's shin splints and not the boot/sock/something else rubbing? Is there any redness/inflammation/bruising after skiing?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@tony(mo)fo, and have you checked it's not more directly related to the IM device?
Are shin splints, in a classical sense, often due to skiing? (although shin pain from boots definitely is). I was advised one season to shave my shins as it was the shin hairs being pulled that was causing a problem.
I.e. worth checking with your surgeon?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thank you for the replies - they happen when running as well so not ski-specific.
I have given up on running altogether (I was never a good runner anyways) and swim daily instead.

Did "shaving" work for you?

I've only had a minor case but I did toe tapping which helped me, otherwise I guess go see a physio?
