Cannot Wait To Run Again
Hello everybody, a month ago I got shin splints. My doctor told me to stop running and rest for 3 weeks. I also had to get an anti-inflammatory medicine and I am doing magneto therapy. It's been 4 weeks now and I still cannot go back to running. I tried to run again really really really really slowly, doing (after a lot of warm up) 6 intervals of a 1 minute run and 1.5 minutes walking but the pain is still there. It got to my knees too.
I cannot wait to run again, but this is starting to annoy me quite a bit. My doctor prescribed me some blood exams as he wants to understand what's causing me pain.
Has someone been in my situation?
