Shin splints due to running and soccer
I get shin splints after every football game... I do stretching pre and post game , icing also but no result. All other teammates don't get such problems.
I did take 2 months rest too , but the pain came again after 3 4 games.
I wear custom orthotics insole cause of flat feet.
Please suggest something.
