Question
hi, i am having problems when i run.  the area right above my ankle bones. lower outer side of shins starts burning a couple minutes into run.  gets so bad that i almost have to hobble back home.  it goes away shortly after i stop running.  recently was fitted for a pair of shoes that feel great until i run.  then the burning starts.  i never used to have these problems running distance.  only when playing basketball.  i want to keep running but when it hurts so bad i have not clue on how to correct my form.  i know its not the shoes because it matters not what shoes i run in when i experience the pain..  please help!!!!

Answer
Hi Brandon
It appears to be shin splints.The best thing is to ice it as often as you cam and start taking 500 mg vit c with your 3 meals a day to enhance recovery of tissue,tendons,collagen.See how that works for you and let me know how it is.

All the best
