Shin splints -update!
I have just been watching a YouTube video about treating shin splints. I have had them for over 2 years and I am really fed up. A couple of videos recommended rolling the muscles on a high density foam roller. My shins felt better just watching the vids! Has anyone used one and did it work?

Worked for me. Plus stretching every day by simply sitting on my legs on the floor and putting my bum on to the back of my thighs etc. worked a treat!

Update! The roller did help. I have found at long long last that my shin splints were caused by restless legs. My shins were really sore in the end and I had to enlist the help of my GP. It seems that I am folate deficient so I am now on tablets which are helping. Also I had to stop my tiny daily drop of red wine (it was tiny too, an economical six glasses out of one bottle), and chocolate, my two treats in life 😲. But it is worth it not to have painful shins.

Jan, criss cross massaging is good also for shin splints, work your way down right next to the bone with both thumbs massaging in little criss cross shapes.
Good luck, shin splints are horrible.

Can be really tight calves that cause it as well.
