dr_gonz, did that help?



euphoria: i believe they are tendins in your lower leg that have ripped due to too much impact, causing an irritating amount of pain when you put any pressure on them

When I used to run, I would get shin splints if I ran everyday. One thing I tried that worked really well to speed the recovery was to swab some DMSO on the area as soon as I noticed the pain (after getting home from a run of course). If you do try DMSO, before applying make sure you clean the area thoroughly with a cleanser that does not have any perfumes or does not leave a residue (I used rubbing alcohol). Also, make sure you use cotton (I used cotton balls) and not some synthetic material to apply the DMSO. DMSO will act to help transport some chemicals through your skin - that's the reason for the warnings about cleaning and not using synthetic materials.
