Hi everyone,
I am 16yrs old and want to be a firefighter/paramedic more then anything. I was supposed to start a 2yr firefighting program in August, but unfortunately, I had to drop it from my schedule because I am going to be moving soon. I ran every night for just 10-15min to prepare, with no problem.
Now, a couple weeks ago I started having a sharp pain in one spot on my shin directly on my bone. It only occurs when I ran and stops immediately after I stop running. I stopped running for about two weeks and as soon as I started, it came back again.
I talked to my schools athletic trainer and he told me that I have high arches, which he said could be the cause. He recommended switching my running surface and getting insoles. I switched my running surface tonight and it actually made it worse, and I was planning to get insoles within the next couple of days, any reccomendations?
I was wondering if anyone has had similar shin problems and could offer any advice. Or if anyone with high arches has had similar issues that affected their running…what did you do to correct problem. Thanks for any advice…Sorry about the length.
