Medial Tibial Traction Periostitis.

AKA shin splints.

Due to the state of my spine I am unable to run nowadays, however I found myself trying to run after olly on his BMX on Sunday evening. I am now suffering shin splints like I havent had for years. I had forgotten how painful this condition can be. I only ran about 200 yards (my back went into spasm forcing me to stop) but i was wearing crap shoes and hadnt run for a LONG time.

I've had tennis elbow the last 3 months if that makes you feel better Tom!

 

Finally seems to be going away with twice a week physio....

 

Never had shin splints - but sounds nasty Not sure what the remedy is.

Elbows here too Rob.

After 4 years of recurring tennis and golfers (on the inside) elbow I think i have finally overcome it with as you say, lots of physio. You been having ultra sound or laser treatment or owt Rob?

[Rob D]

No just the good ol get in there and I'm going to hurt you boy sort of physio!! Ho Ho!

 

But it now seems to be paying off - my fault as I never tackle it when it starts to reappear again and let it get so it disrupts work then I do something about it

[tommer9]

Oh well i was even more stupid when it came to Tennis Elbow. i was so busy (back when i did a load of stonework this was) that i just used to load up on painkillers and caried on...until one day i found i couldnt make a fist with my right hand!!!!! I was then forced to pretty much do nothing for about 2 months, and had endless physio too. You live and learn eh?
