The shin splints seem to have subsided but I've been worried today (Tuesday 17th) as the needle-like tingling has reappeared - I'm getting mild pain walking, but my physio didn't think there was anything worse than tight muscles. I think this is nerve damage aggravated by me poking around trying to ease the tightness causing the shin splints, but I can't be sure. I'm taking a rest day and I'll see how it goes - the priority is recovery now!

Hi Susie,
It's been a while since I posted a comment but I'm still keeping an eye on your progress (or I'm still cyber-stalking, it's how you want to look at it :-)
Hope the nerves (in all senses of the word) settle down and you have a good one on Sunday.
