burning in legs
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!!!!

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
