Title: Nagging Tibia Injury Post by: runtough on October 21, 2009, 06:09:24 am I'm searching for expert information or option, in regards to a tibia injury (shin splints). I've been battling this since late April but it still will not go away. I've seen injury rehab for a couple of months but the pain would always come back. I then went to my personal doctor for a second opinion and was told to stop running and rest the leg immediately. After a month of rest, my leg felt great. I did the Chicago marathon earlier this month and was feeling fine util mile 24. Although the leg pain was minor, I still felt it; indicating that the injury had no healed completely. I haven't run since, which has been 10 days, and the goal is to rest 6 weeks with no running in hopes that I will get back to 100%.
I just wanted to know if anyone in the Fast Running community has additional or better information that would help this process.

If so, build up more gradually. There is no other magic trick for this.
