Im dealing with stress fractures in both legs now. They need rest. I rested mine for 6 weeks, went running and theyre worse than ever. Go see a sports doc and get a bone scan. The scan will tell you the seriousness of the fracture if anything at all. But for those...rest. Up to 2 months of it. It sucks, but supplement with swimming, bike riding, and kettlebells/weights.

Thanks Ken, thats good news. Sanchezero, even though they are a little pricey, orthotics may be a wise investment if they allow you to continue training without suffering from chronic shin plints. May case sounded similar to yours.

RAE, my symptoms do sound kinda like yours. Lemme know how things go; the orthotics may be the way to go. I'm a cheapskate, but this is important.

This is a response I got on another board:

[] A bunch of good suggestions already, one thing that has not been mentioned yet. If there is not good flexibility in the hips you will sometimes get a situation where one hip does not travel through a normal range of motion. It will often be rotated slightly forward of its neutral position. This efectively makes the body act like one leg is longer than the other (alot of long leg diagnoses are actually this problem). You will pronate on the side that has the dysfunction. This is actually fairly common. Even with good shoes this problem will persist until you get the hips corrected. The solution if this is the case:
Stretch the hip flexors, internal hip rotators, and external hip rotators.

Does this sound feasible/familiar to any of you?

Thanks.

So, could a Chiropractor help this by "adjusting" you? I know some people have no faith in them, but it seems to make sense if they can get you back in line.
