Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

If you're looking for an alternative, swimming is much easier on the old joints and bones.

That was a recommendation as well. Stay off the streets and use the tracks at the local schools that were designed to absorb or grass. Thanks.

Caused by muscle development that exceeds the rate of expansion of the muscle compartments. Circulation is restricted, muscle pain/cramps ensue.
The treatment was stretching exercises and aggressive/deep massage of the affected areas to help the compartments stretch out to accommodate the greater muscle mass and allow circulation and unrestricted movement.

Thanks. Yeah the few massages that my wife has given has helped the most. I even took a wood kitchen rolling pin (flour roller) and used it on my legs and felt tremendous relief.

Congratulations on the awesome weight loss.

That sure is the truth (as I get ready to leave and pick up kids) and thank you.

In addition to what has been said (NSAIDs, rest, stretching, massage, and running surface alternatives), you may wish to add tibialis anterior exercise into your regimen, get a little aggressive with the massage (like myofascial release), and have your gaits (running and walking) evaluated well for correction. The wear patterns on your shoes will be indicative for a person to examine, too, if going for corrective inserts/orthotics.

Used to run marathons. Shin Splints do indeed hurt. Hope the therapies help.
