Alright guys, i'm in track, 8th grade female. I think i have shin splints and i think i like tore something in my ankle.
First off my shins are bruised and they bruise when i run, and they hurt! like when i shave, i go up & down with soap on my shin, but it hurts to bad to do it anymore.
Second I twisted my ankle a month or more ago. When i hold my foot and let at a 90 degree angle, and stretch my foot out to an obtuse angle, it HURTS SO BAD! today during track, well, i almost died.

But yes definely see a doctor as soon as possible, this could be very dangerous!!

He would be able to tell you what is wrong, before you seriously hurt yourself.
Are you stretching properly? If you aren't, then that could be the problem. It can lead to VERY sore muscles, and you can even hurt yourself.
Have you asked your parents about it? Maybe they can help. So just go see a doctor, okay? He will be able to tell you what is wrong.
sizzlinmandolin answered Thursday April 13 2006, 7:29 pm: YES! Tell your coach about everything and stop running until you see a doctor! You could injure yourself so much. Your doctor will either tell you not to run for awhile or give you stretches and other things you can do to reduce the pain. Listen to your doctor. You don't want to end up needing surgery. Good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
