3.5 k walk. BORING!!!!!!!!!!
I tried this walk today, interspersed with a few exploratory jogs but my leg definitely didn't want to play. So...ice, rest, strapping and NSAIDS obviously haven't worked.
I'm not sure what I've done because the pain isn't in my shin, it's about half way up my lower leg but on the inside, not the front. Too high and too far inside for shin splints or stress fractures. Soleus strain maybe?
Any ideas anyone?
Anyway, off to the physio as soon as I can.
Plus...in addition to lack of exercise, I've been relying on those age old remedies to get me through the end of semester (copius amounts of wine and tim tams). Unfortunately my metabolism is no longer designed for the student lifestyle and I feel (and look) like the Goodyear blimp. 3 and a half days to go!!!

Sorry to hear cirque. Unfortunately, I don't think I can really help either. I had a calf strain once, but it was more at the rear and lower down, and I never really worked out how it fixed itself anyway.
Mind you, I'm sure the red wine and Tim Tams will be helping things :)
Cirque, wait till you see the physio, but the pain from my shin splints was (note the past tense - Yeah!! :-) on the side of the shin bone about half way up, not on the front.

2 and a half by the time I've read this! I remember when it was in double figures.
We keep having that extra place set at dinner for you, can't wait until you are actually sitting there!
