Ingest caffeine.

Thai massage therapy twice a week, plenty of water, eating to limit inflammation (less acidic, more alkaline, no refined sugar), wearing compression calf sleeves daily, sleeping with legs elevated and wearing orthopedic running shoes when training.

Useful tips. I do the same, and wearing orthopedic shoes is a good tip for me. At the moment I just press, massage and use the calf sleeve. I have to say that the calf sleeve is a practical thing. I wear it after running and I think it will definitely help too. I don't have stagnant water or anything like that on my feet, and I don't have any problems because I only wear these things when running.

I used to run (a lot), and shin splints are the WORST. Any advice I would have suggested has already been said.

Stretching and warming-up is 100% necessary, no way around it. Strengthening is a good idea for a lot of reasons. Adjusting footwear can do it. And looking into lower-impact cardio if nothing else seems to work.

I often get shin splints and occasionally ankle pain after i jump rope or run for long periods...and it is really frustrating as the bones do not fully heal up unless you rest completely from those kinds of activities for about 2 weeks. It is detrimenting me because I can't do that cardio comfortably plus it affects my balance, footwork, and being light/springy on my feet.

A reason that exacerbates the pain is often because I wear boxing boots when doing those activities, and they have minimal padding on the sole which means more impact on the shins and ankles when running and jumping.

So, guys, do you ever suffer from shin splints? How do you treat the problem or which treatments would you suggest?

Thanks

I used to suffer from it, not for last few years.

I lost a ton of fat (about 35kg), and warmed up better.
