Shin Splint?

[aicabsolut]

have you tried wearing a brace or bandage when you sew or drive? the compression could help you do those activities without irritating it as much.

I had an ace bandage holding on an ice pack for part of the sewing, but am thinking of wearing one when I try to ride on Wed, just as a preventative. The darn thing still is not pain free, and kind of 'crunches' (not really audible, but I put my finger on the area and flex my foot...the feeling if it were a sound would be crunching).

Thanks for the advise.

That gravely feeling kind of sounds like tendinitis... - the inflamed tendon hanging up in its sheath. That's how my forearms get when my tennis elbow flares up anyhow.

When I had shin splints from running, yeah, wrapping my whole lower legs in Ace bandages took care of it.
