Calling BG doctors!

[Furtwangler]

So I've been ice/inline skating for about the 6 months consistently ( I have since a young age on and off as well but for recently about 3 hours/week)

I've noticed the last two weeks after my rec hockey games (coincidentally I've been skating a bit harder) my dominant leg is ridiculously sore, and it takes about a week ish to go away. There's no sharp pain, just a dull pain that depending on how I walk, or especially when I'm skating I'll feel it right about here:

This may be geared towards people who skate, but do you think it's just my skates are shit? they're the entry level Bauer IX's and the pain seems to be correlated to where the top of the skate connects to my leg.

Regardless of the skate issue, what's the best way to get rid of this? Ice? there's a hot tub at my schools fitness center I can go chill in, but I'm not sure what exactly to do. (Apparently it needs re-iterating, I will go to the doctor when I can, was looking for any input in addition to the fact.)

Doctor.

[Plow]

kinda sounds like a bruise that might not be bad enough to be visible... is there any discoloring at all?

[Jodwahh]

Sounds like shin splints, go to a doctor asap. They dont fix themselves and can get to the point where it never stops hurting.

nope no bruising at all.

I was going to say shin splints as well.


Go to the damn doctor.

[Diamicles]

could be compartment syndrome developing as well, which means you really need to get to the doctor.

I never said I wasn't planning on going to the doctor, I'm not stupid. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas in the mean time.

I know, it's a common symptom of ignorance.

I don't see how asking peoples opinions counts as ignorance, I didn't say I wasn't planning on going to the doctor. I mean if you two get off on being toolsheds for no reason continue, by all means.

Who the hell goes to the doctor for shinsplints? RICE fool.

I don't think it's shinsplints anyway, but I'd still treat it with a week of NSAIDs, Ice, and rest. Elevate when you can.

[archibaldcrane]

Can you even get shin splints from skating?

[ghostfaced]

dont know much about skating but i imagine you are putting alot of pressure on your ankle and probably squating a lot to skate. might be the skates pressing into your shin I had the same problem with snowboard boots a couple of seasons ago. I just got new boots and I was fine but i got a ton of bruises that didnt necessarily show on my leg. that or shin splints
