Running

🚨😢
I’m starting to feel pain while running. After a quick search it seems the start of shin splints

Here is where you can shill me effective remedies, successful recovery stories and moral support. 

I have a race on Sunday. The pain is still manageable but I don’t want to worsen the inflammation afterwards.

go to a doctor you trust, don‘t trust the internet for medial advice

I know. I just need moral support here. 

Doctors are not runners. They will just say don’t run and it will disappear in two weeks 🥲

😆 SAD, but relatable. ive found the right DPTs to be a lot more helpful 

never had shin splints, but empathize.. i know its super frustrating, but rest/sleep, eat protein & healthy foods, some inflammation is good, progressive loading before re-entry 🔑 (counter-intuitive but i've had great success with this)

The hard part is not recognizing the good advice, but accepting it. 
I know what needs to be done, the difficult part is doing it. Especially this week.

There are good doctors who are supportive and who specialize on sport or running. They are rare of course. But even if they say something you might not like to hear that could still turn out to be good advice.
