What are shin splints and how to avoid them - Episode 10
Description
Today's episode is all about shin splints.
People get confused with shin splints thinking it is a stress fracture and that they should never run again.
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) is the more technical term. It is an aggravation of the tissue surrounding the bone to which some of the stability muscles of the ankle attach.
I also highlight the importance of proper diagnosis from a health professional as there are many conditions that it is important to differentiate from It is important to differentiate MTSS from:
- Stress Fracture
- Chronic Exertional Compartmental Syndrome
- Sciatica
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Popliteal Artery Entrapment
- Muscle Strain
- Tumour
- Arterial endofibrosis
- Infection
- Nerve entrapment (common/superficial peroneus and saphenous)
