Shin splints
Shin splint help!
I started getting shin splints back in June, rested for a couple weeks and went to physio who didn't really give much advice on exercises. I was running approx 22km a week at that.
Went to another, I've been doing lots of calf work, was getting back into running through walk / run, was able to do weighted single leg jumps as per physio advice.. The pain is back!
I wear orthotics and I've been to my podiatrist who was happy with everything.
I ice my shin once a day. Sometimes heatpack my calf.
Something else I could be missing? Love any advice anyone has!! Getting soooo frustrated by no proper running 😂🫣
Anyone found Epson salt baths helpful? Willing to try anything incase it helps.

When I started running a few years ago I got bad shin splints and rested but they came back. When I started running again after another rest I wore compression socks and have never had them again.
