How To Treat The Pain Of Shin Splints?
I ve been having a pain in my shins so bad it wakes me from a deep sleep.My Dr. said I m having shin splints so I started taking more potassium supplements & eating more bananas. I do have D.D.D. & H.B.P. which I take meds. for.Idon t know how to make the pain stop when it happens.Last night I was in tears & today my leg is sore.I have recently been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm so while I wait for them to get a stent to put in my brain,I do not lift more than 10 lbs. & I m not allowed to do any strenuous activity for fear of a rupture.I m worried when I have surgery I m going to get a shin splint.

usually diabetic patients undergo higher sensation of pain due to the neuropathic pain ( nervous tissue feel pain more with minor stimuli and a bit longer duration ) so, you should measure your blood glucose level and try to monitor it with equivelant dosing by your diabetologist physician will be very helpful , these splints comes from vigorous or stress moves or sports so try to avoid any type of activities that may cause it tell you finish your brain stent operation and dont worry shin splints wouldnt come while your surgery tat is incredibly very rare dont worry hope everything will go fine with you.
