Shin Splints
I play soccer and the other day I went to the trainer because the front part of my leg is hurting. They told me that I have shin splints. They said that it can only heal with rest and that if I am to practice or play in a game, they were gonna tape it up. When I'm just walking around, it really hurts and I've been limping because of it. Is there anyway to prevent it from happening again after it heals? How can I reduce the pain?

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
Usually shin splints will start when someone exercises (runs) after a period of inactivity. The trouble with the tranier giving advice is that stress fractures can cause the same symptoms as shin splints. So it's best to see a Dr for diagnosis and treatment. The best way that I know to treat shin splints is to rest, apply ice three times a day for 20 minutes each and take over the counter pain relievers. Healing usually occurs in about a week. The way to prevent this, is to warm up slowly, wear shoes that absorb the impact & keep a consistant exercise routine. But once again, the Dr. Is the best person for advice once you are certain of the diagnosis.

this one is good and easy:
while watching tv, sit in an upright position, with your legs out in front of you. (so you look like a 90 degree angle). than just make circles with your ankles, or even try to write out the alphabet with your ankles.
#2 >> You can also stand on your steps. So stand on one step on your tip toe, and stand kind of up, then down, like up on your toes, then down to your heels.
Those help get rid of it :)
GOOD LUCK!!

Hey!
I have the perfect solution!!! I run track and field in my school... soo I know how the pain is... ouch!
well our track head coach said we were going to do a Shin-Splints-Prevention work-out everyday because he hears that many people are getting shin splints. So heres what he taught us. Lean against a wall with your back against a wall but your feet out infront of you. Then lift your toes up in the air... slowly bring them down but dont let them touch the floor, then bring them back up, then back dont not touching the floor. Do that about 50 times a day for a few weeks and you shouldn't have shin splints anymore.
If you dont get what I mean... here's a few sites to inform you.
