Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
when they start hurting, use ice cups. all you do is take those dixi cups and freexe water in them.
when you want to use one, just roll it down and rub the ice up and down.
also, to stop them from hurting while you are running, tape them. i would talk to your trainer first before doing that though.
hope that helped!!!

i play field hockey a lot of girls on the team get shin splints and what the doctor tells them to do is stretch by swirling your ankle.
its really hard to explain, but you know like if you lift up your leg and you swirl your ankle in a circle? it really helps.
so just do that a lot and it should help prevent it :]
