shin splints

I hate those things.

shin splints are a variety of things that cause pain in your shins.  its pain that is in the front of your leg below your knee and above your ankle.  when its diagnosed, its diagnosed as an over use injury.  I have had these god damn things for forever.

There are several things that can cause the pain. one is your muscle have been over used and are tiring.  Another is that your have little micro fractures along your shin bone.  The final one is that you have low arches, i dont know how that causes pain in your shin, but they say it does so, i will go with it.

The only real cure for them is to rest, and get a better pair of shows, or get some inserts for your shoes.
I have tried to rest, and that just doesnt seem to be doing anything, so i went and bought a pair of inserts, lets see how that turns out.
