Shin splints

    I’ve had a lower back muscular problem for a couple of years and haven’t been able to get a proper diagnosis, though I’ve gotten renewed enthusiasm to get it sorted and am arranging what will be around my 4th and 5th opinions so I hope to get to the bottom of it shortly. I believe the weakness in the lower back is responsible for the shin splints I get from time to time, but are now causing me serious pain, and also a groin strain I’ve had for 6 months despite resting and stretching it.

    Does anyone have any good ideas for either preventing shin splints or reducing the symptoms? I have orthotics to deal with over pronation but still get the shin splints, particularly on hard surfaces. I find a bath in Epsom salts can help afterwards, but does anyone know any good stretches or strengthening exercises that might help prevent them as it’ll be a couple of weeks before my physio appointments? Thanks
