[QUOTE="Sean01, post: 1586868"] My wife studied shin splints for her dissertation for her sports massage qualification. It was a good choice as I suffered massively with this. Arnica cream - dealt with swelling (non prescription) Massage but gentle at first otherwise you can make it worse. Good footwear - always. I don't even go barefoot around the pool on holiday - I have orthotic supports. I feel pain after 10 steps without them. Good support/shock absorbtion in the shoes. Walking - I've walked the Loch Ness Marathon - I came last but I did it. The training was intense. The warm up is CRUCIAL. I purposely walk very slowly for the first 20-30 minutes (window shopping speed) before picking up the pace. Ice will also work - to alleviate the swelling. I lived with this for years - but it can be dealt with. It takes time and patience and a lot of massage and stretching. Good luck. Sean [/QUOTE]
