I will admit I have been working my butt OFF but in the past I have never had this pain. My shins feels super bruised....it hurts to even touch them. Anytime I bend down or anything. I could only do 45min of my 60min Kickboxing Dvd. Is there anything besides not exercising that may help?????

    It sounds like shin splints from working out. Take a nice, hot bath and take some ibuprofen with food. :o) Pain is no fun!!

    Try an NSAID such as Advil

    You didn't happen to do any jumping related exercise lately... like skipping rope?

    If so, you may have overdone it. I would recommend taking some time off from leg exercises and see if it goes away. If not, see a doctor.

    Yikes, take a few days off. Your body may need time to mend.

    Good luck girly!

    I agree with everyone. Sounds like shin splints. My son is a personal trainer and has advised to take a few days off. Try icing it for 10 mins on 10mins off and also take advil for the pain and inflammation. If after a few days the pain does not go away, I highly recommend you see your doctor. Good Luck.
