burning sensation!!!!!

[terrapin]

I have had a burning sensation up and down my shins for the past four weeks. I am currently taking a light cycle of 50mg winny EOD. I do very little leg work since i have bad knees. i do not run, jog or ride a bike. has anybody had this feeling before?? the feeling comes and goes and gets worse as the day goes on. any help would be greatly appreciated.

shin splints bro, do you work your calves alot or are you like alot of dudes and skip calve day, if you dont work them start real light, if you do do reverse calve raises to work the front part of your lower leg shin splints are usualy caused by an imbalance when the front of your leg is alot weaker then the rear calve muscles or the whole lower leg region is weak in general, so if you work your calves alot cut back a little and work on reverse calve raises, and if you dont work them at all start on your next leg day bro

It could also be anterior compartment syndrome, it is when the muscle in the shin area starts to out grow the fascia surrounding it. It's quite common.

Damn, I used to get shin splits a lot when training muay thai. From all that damn jumping rope.

Try massaging either side of the front shin bone, this helps a bit, before doing calf exercises.
