Something New...Take Two

I've been having problems with my shins for a while now. They've been getting really tight and painful ever since I broke my leg climbing the mountain. I was having a lot of trouble at the gym and decided to FINALLY start going to Physio. I've been going for over a month now. I was assessed and diagnosed with strained and tight Tibialis Anteriors (that's the muscle on the outside of the shin). This was mostly likely caused by the strain put on them while on the mountain.

Normally I love to run and, when I'm going from point A to point B I like to walk quickly...very quickly. But, I haven't been able to do either of these things for more than a few minutes before the pain sets in. I thought I was progressing with physio but, this week I've had extreme pain walking quickly between the bus and my office!

So, I'm fed up and I'm looking in to alternative forms or medicine. I have an appointment with an acupuncturist tonight who was recommended to me by my Aunt. So, fingers crossed that I'll be feeling a lot better this evening after my appointment!

Wish me luck,
