Shin splints

Top of the mornin to yous all…

Im suffering from shins splints now on/off for about 2years. Sometimes its very bad I have pain walking.

I have changed footwear, made sure i run on grass or the track. Tried resting for a week or two but once i start training again, increasing the load gradual, it always comes back.

I have also read that calcium ascorbate supplements can cure this, been taking them for 3 weeks now but still in pain.

I do not know the technical name of the area but it is the inside of my legs just above the ankles, pain rising for about 4-5 inches.

I beg of anyone who can help…please help…injuries suck big style, its really getting me down!! I still go swimming and to the gym for upper body but my passion is running.
