Not sure what forum this would go in, but how do you treat shin splints? I am getting very aggravated at the HS coach with her workouts. Very intense workouts within 30-40 min period...some are timed. I don't think the girls have conditioned enough over time (with start of school being only 2.5 weeks ago) to do these types of workouts. Anyway off soap box...what I have read about shin splints says to STOP all activities for 2-3 weeks until the pain goes away. Her pain only comes up during workout...especially a running workout (i.e. wind sprints and diagonals). They go away after she rests and ices her shins down. Not tender to touch or anything like that. And she's fine while pitching/batting or anything that doesn't involve running. LOL.
So what say you? Experience? Recommendations? Suggestions??
