I have been walking everyday lately. I notice that I get this horrible burning, pain sensation in the front of my shins. It hurts so bad. Someone had mentioned "Shin Splints". What can you do for these? I need ideas please

    It sounds like you need a new pair of walking shoes. I have had that problem before fro either trying to walk in the wrong kind of shoes or from wearing old. worn out walking shoes. Once I replaced the shoes the problem went away.

    I've had the same problem after doing the 30 Day Shred. It is shin splints (they hurt like crazy don't they?). I have been letting mine heal before I start back up. But these exercises should take care of the problem. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-treat-and-prevent-shin-splints.html
