A member asked:

While playing soccer i got kicked om my shin over a month ago. it hurts when i play on it.not during but after. it isn't a sure to the touch, icing doesn't help..should i just rest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, rest first.: Rest is the best treatment for the pain that might be due to "shin splints." for immediate relief use the r.I.C.E. Treatment method for controlling pain and inflammation. Returning to activity must be done gradually with non-weight bearing activity (cycling, swimming) to your workouts until pain-free. If it persists, see your doctor for a thorough evaluation/examination.
