Bloody H@ll- Shin splints and the burning in my legs has returned

[KSH]

Thanks for the link!

That sounds so serious... but I will discuss it with my coach and maybe ask him to refer me to a Dr. who can test for this. I think the other Orthopedic I have gone to isn't that "advanced".

I have to do something. That surgery sounds aweful though. I would hate to have a scar from my knee to my ankle!

I think I would take walking in tri's over a scar like that.

get the pain/symptoms about 10 minutes into the run, not matter if I walk first, warm up, massage, start slowly, start fast, run on pavement, run on trail, run every day, take off for months, ride a bike first- no matter what, it starts. When I stop running, I am rarely sore from it, and then minimally, if at all. But when it is going on, it is a VERY severe burning.

That sounds JUST LIKE ME! Seriously.

I think getting tested... wouldn't hurt.


So, you still run... right? And you didn't get the surgery due the Dr. having a heart attack... so what do you do now?
