Life Pain in right shin when exercising

1. Get some orthotics- Custom made from a chiropractor are better but the cheap ones from wal-mart will work better than nothing.

2. Strengthen the tibialis anterior- This is the muscle on the front of your shin. You strengthen it by doing reverse calf raises. Stand on a ledge or stair and let your toes hang off the edge then raise the front of your foot towards your knee. Do a couple of sets per day as many reps as you can.

3. Stretch the calves, hip flexors, and hamstrings at least twice per day for 20-30 seconds.

4. Until the issue has died down a bit try to limit the impact stresses by cutting down on jogging and switching to incline walking, elliptical, cycling, stairclimber etc.
