That all encompassing diagnosis again !
I'm the heaviest I've ever been ( fat not muscle I'm afraid !) and got back into running 4 months ago. I recently developed very bad pains on my inner shin. I'm a neutral runner. I was worried that this may have been a stress fracture caused by the sudden high mileage (30+ miles per week) on legs that weren't accustomed to the weight.
However, the pain seems to have faded and shifted so that I now get only the occasional twinge in the ankle joint.
Am I right in assuming that this shifting of the pain can safely rule out a stress fracture and does anyone have any suggestions for good stretching strategies for the inner calf and shin.
Thanks.
