Subject: RE: I have pain on the inside of my shin. HELP! I deal with similar symptoms, but I don't know if what I have is what you have. I had to cut out all speed work. Also, on the advice of my sports chiropractor, I began wrapping my foot to support my arch to act as the spring that it is, thus having less impact on my lower legs. I use the tape that looks like ACE bandage, but it's sticky (I forget what it's called ).
Wrap along the inside of the ankle toward the toes, then across the top of the foot. Turn under the foot at the outside edge across from the arch. Then along the bottom of the foot to the arch. As you come up from the arch to the top of the foot again, pull the tape to create extra support on the arch. The tape now sticks to itself on top of your foot in front of the ankle. Continue with the tape behind the ankle across the achilles, and stick it to itself again at the inside of the ankle. Cut any excess off.
If you have any questions, PM me.
