Shin Splints and Ankle Pain?
like you said, it might be shin splints... which is probably just from jumping back into doing all this since you've relaxed. I used to get them a lot too [[i was a short distance runner as well]] If you have a athletic trainer around, ask him what to do. he may have tou run half of practice, and then bike for th rest. Or he may have you stretch in a certain way. Sometimes they have you replace your shoes, and tape your shins for comfort. It's really a combination of relaxing your shins and practicing as a treat ment.
Restless legs or leg cramps anyone heard of tying string around your ankles to remedy this?
No. Where did you hear this? Someone is pulling your leg, I think. There are a lot of god treatments out there for restless legs now-a-days! See your doctor, you may be asked to do a sleep study to find out the severity of yor condition. All this consists of is hooking some wires up to your legs, head, and monitor you while you sleep. Some times they want a two night study, where you maybe asked to come back after your doctor reviews your results. After this is all over the best treatment for you will be discussed and then you will THEN get some relief! Not from tying string around your ankles! Good Luck!!
What is going on with my ankle/foot/leg? Outer ankle, lower leg swelling. No known injuries. No bruising.?
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS! i had it myself! No cut, no bruise, just concentrated pain! Its called OSTEOMYLITUS. It an INFECTION IN THE BONE. i had it in my heel. I'm sorry, to have to tell you this, but i had to go to hospital and have 3 operations where they drain the fluid (infection) that is surrounding the bone. see your bone is like cheese with holes in it. and the infection get stuck actually IN the bone. so after the 3 operations i was on crutches for three months and had to take 15 tablets a day for 9 months! because there is a huge risk that the infection can come back. and it takes a long long time for it to go. but the fact that i was 11 at the time, meant that my bones were still growing and that the infection was pushed out and passed through my system. i don't what age you are, but all i can tell you is, the longer you leave it, the worse it will get, and you are more at risk of having the infection for life no matter how much operations you have. it took me 2 and a half years before my fot was fully strong again. i couldn,t walk for long at all cause my foot gotr real sore and tired. SEE YOUR DOCTOR NOW! AND GET SENT TO THE HOSPITAL! ITS OSTEOMYLITUS! INFECTION IN THE BONE! (I'm 99% certain! otherwise it could be arthritus. (I have juvenile arthritus) Believe me! tell me how you get on. i really care!! cAUSE I KNOW THE AGONY YOU FEEL its torture!
