My Shin Hurts

I actually had a lot to write about or rather on my mind that I had wanted to write about, but I am quite tired, so I will only write about my shins.  Wow that was a long sentence…

My right shin hurts.  It has been hurting for awhile now, especially during Ultimate.  I think I have shin splints.  In fact, I’m pretty sure I do.  Even though I haven’t played Ultimate in a few weeks, it still hurts.  I think playing softball doesn’t help.

My shin now hurts when I stand, when I walk, when I drive, and even when I’m not doing anything!  It throbs and hurts.  I don’t think I want to see the doctor, because they will just tell me to stretch, not walk on it, and probably not play sports.  I don’t want to pay money to have them tell me that.  So, I will wait it out a bit longer and see what happens.  M. showed me 3 stretches to do.  I’ll try them out.  Although these stretches sure make my shin hurt. :(

Then again, I don’t want to end up like M. with a stress fracture!!!  And I definitely don’t want to be wearing a boot!! So, hopefully it fixes itself really soon!
