shinsplints

I've been running some more in the past few weeks and also hiked to the top of Sharp's Ridge with FiatandMabelthedogs, and I suddenly have bad shin splints, which haven't plagued me in a long, long time.

Nothing anyone has suggested is helping and I am in abject misery. Cannot wear any high heels this week, which is no fun.

So I'm on the hunt for ideas for shin pain relief. If you have any remedies that actually work, let me know...

My 53 year old Uncle J., who runs marathons and is actually doing an ultramarathon this month, says I need different shoes, but I've been wearing the same model NB running shoes for years with no problems.
