Anyone Have Shin Pain From Running? - Topic

Lol @ these kids who think getting off the pavement actually helps that much. If you run enough, you'll be getting shin splints no matter where you run.

@ OP, everyone gets them when they start running, cut down your running a bit while you have them but don't stop (you'll just get them again). You'll get to the point where it won't happen anymore, just keep going.

Hey I just recently began running a lot, and um... yeah well the past few months it's been kind of off and on, but yeah I just recently started doing it more.

OK, so

The main idea here is that I have PAIN right below my knee, like almost on the right side of my bone ...I think it's on my shin...but it's like directly below my knee.

Now, I wonder if I should go to the doctor for this....

OR...if this is normal, and will strengthen and go away?

It doesn't hurt that bad but when I point my toes upward I can feel it and its like a bad bruise or something.

I just want to know if I should wait for it to go away, i.e. keep running and let it heal on it's own....or goto the doc.

Help?

yeah its the friction of your bones just keep on running build up Lean muscle and that will take away the friction, thats why fatty fucks always complain about sour ankles

Get an experienced running friend of yours to go with you on your next run to check out your form. Good chance you're taking long, hard strides and having your feet hit the ground much harder than it should. Make sure you have good shoes and try to stay on trails and off of pavement, and possibly reduce your running and do some cross training on an elliptical or a bike.
