Dr Foot Discussion

[Dr Foot]

I have started training for a half marathon...i didnt do much running before but have built up slowly. I now have pain in my right shin. Mostly only when running but recently also when walking. Is not severe and does not stop me from running abut I am worried that it may get worse and what the underlying problem is. Someone told me it sounds like lactic acid build up that does not drain away sufficiently after exercise and suggested i massage the affected area before and after exercise. What do you think?

Pre and Post run massage will help, running insoles will definitely help. Click below to view a good resource.
