- I had fairly significant but not disabling shin splints, that made
- basketball fairly unenjoyable. Rest did work, but they came back
- quickly. I have been completely cured (or so it seems) by the advice
- I got here to exercise the fronts of my lower legs by pulling up my
- feet (over and over, like you are lifting, until muscle fatigue). I
- don't know which "type" of splints I had, and certainly this might not
- work for everyone, but it was a very dramatic turnaround of what I had
- feared would end my participation in active sports (or at least my
- enjoyment of them).
