I'm new to the forums, nice to meet everybody. I'm looking for some advice on my shin splint issue. I'm heading to PLC 204 combined next week, and I'm definitely in some pain. I have posterior shin splints, which in my case leads to some pretty bad inflammation on the inside part of my shin where the tibia meets the muscle. I've been going through about a month of physical therapy, only to find the pain once again returning after a couple of laps around the track earlier this week. I plan on trying to suck it up and basically live off of motrin while i'm there, but I realize that most candidates who do this only end up being NPQ'd for stress fractures. I'm trying to compile some knowledge from those who have been and those who have completed OCS. Is there anybody who experienced similar pain? If so, what did you do to alleviate the pain? Any information is helpful. I'm disappointed that my pain has taken me to this point, but I don't want to mess up my legs so bad that I can't attempt an OCS application again. I've bought the shoes, and altered the running style, but basically I started my training way too quickly, and ran too much on concrete. I just haven't had enough time to heal with OCS coming so quickly. So sorry for the long post, but I'm extremely desperate, worried that all my hard work is crashing down upon me. Any information and help is definitely needed. Thanks everybody.
