so i just saw the other thread dealing with posterior shin splints
http://www.runningahead.com/forums/topic/c6d58b0c438f4509ba3d38814a68fce1

are the comments there applicable to my situation (but I haven't tried to search on the internet --- came to RA direct)? My quads hurt like what I remember shin splints to hurt like. I took yesterday off since it twinged even when I crossed my legs and running today wasn't pain free. There are certainly spots of tenderness that are very localized that I can find as well (that's what my shin splints were like. pressing along the tibia gave twinges of pain, like a torn muscle or something).

Can i do anything about this? is it real? (it feels real).

Sounds like a job for the stick or the roller to me.

Thanks. Maybe I'll try it. I have to do something, my run today was horrible.
