L Lower Leg, Shin Splints
2010-02-14 – 2010-04-03
Grade: 2
Still not sure if this is shin splints or if part of my calf muscle is just really over worked. Heck, maybe that is what shin splints are. Feels like a tight muscle knot on the inside of my left leg, halfway between the knee and ankle. Hurts more in the morning just after waking up. Once I start running and get warmed up it does not hurt as much but it is still there.
I put off logging it for 2+ weeks because I did not want to admit that I had a problem and I am also not sure what exactly is going on.
I wore a neoprene calf/shin sleeve during my runs. I am still wearing it on my runs though there is little to no pain. Stretching and ice also helped.
