Are these the shin splints?!


Question: Are these the shin splints!?
Okay well here is the story!. I decided that I am going to the Marine Corps so I started to train physically!. Everything started out fine but about I'd say a month ago!? I would get a slight burning sensation on the right side of my right shin and in my left calf!. I didn't think much of it because the day prior to that was leg day and I was sure it was just soreness!. However now after about a mile I feel intense burning sensation I want to call it!. I have to slow down to a walk!. Now its not really that bad of a pain but I slow down because I really don't want it to get out of control or even injure myself!. Are these shin splints!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
sounds like it!. use the R!.I!.C!.E!. method for a few days!. Rest (let your muscle heal) Ice (pain release and reduce swelling) Compression (wrap your shin, but not too tightly) Elevation (maybe sleep with a few pillows under your leg) and it should be feeling better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
