A member asked:
I have had shin splints for a year now. i'd cry if anything touched them. i have not been active for 2 weeks now..can i run track in another 2 weeks?

See an orthopedist : If you have been having recurrung symptoms for a year, you should seek an evaluation with an orthopaedic surgeon. Physical therapy will probably be your best bet. Would recommend against running track until your symptoms are under better control.
