it is accualy a form of shin splints.... interior instead of the usual anterior shin splints most people feel on the outside.

befor a work out heat it up a bit with shower... heating pad... whatever, then after a work out make sure to stretch it and do a really good mashage... then ice ice ice ice bout 20min an hour

ps.. aspacream is a gift from God!
