Shin splints or arthritis?

[kaylasmom321]

Hi everyone!
Just wondering.... Lately, I've been getting dull aches all up and down the lower front part of my legs. Stretching and Ibuprofen don't work. It comes and goes. Seems to be worse at night. Arthritis does run in the family, but it doesn't seem to be so much in the joints. I'm pretty healthy otherwise, normal body weight,workout regularly, etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated!!! Thanks, Nancy J.~~~~

Sounds like shin splints to me. Cathe does a move for the tibialis (spelling) the front of the calf muscle in GS Legs with the ball that you might find beneficial.
Also, ice the area after working out and be sure to stretch and then stretch some more. Only to the point of slight discomfort though.
