Question Shin Splints...

I have some shin splint pain in my leg but I am on a roll with exercise and was wondering, would riding my bike be easier on them? I've been walking 2 miles a day on hilly roads, and even though I am stretchng, I still have some pain. I iced them last night, and they feel a lil' better, but it still hurts & I am still hobbling lol...

I don't want to stop. I don't even want rest days. I want to either walk or ride my bike these 2 miles every day no matter what.

Yes, ride your bike for a while. Also, make sure you have proper shoes that aren't worn out.

When I first started running a million years ago, I ran through them for months. They eventually went away, but it was really painful and I could have caused more serious injury but didn't know better at the time.

Stretch, ice, good shoes...
