[RC] Another Question - k s swigart

Juli Belchard said:


Impression: Evidence of a GradeII-III stress reaction
of the tibia including periosteal edema, bone marrow
edema and edema in subcuateous fat adjacent to the
anterior tibia.  Mild edema in the posterior subcutaneous
fat is also noted.  No obvious fracture lines are identified"

Ok, all you more medically minded folks out there.  What
the heck is all that?


That's a fancy way of saying "shin splints."


The ortho said it was consistant with shin splints,
but the pain in on the lateral side of my leg, not
over the shin area, and my symptoms are not
consistant with shin splints.


It may be that your muscles are compensating for the shin splints so you
are feeling the pain elsewhere. (E.g.  When I sprained my ankle the
muscle just above the knee on the outside got sore from walking funny in
order to avoid pain in my ankle...and this soreness persisted for months
after the ankle pain was long gone).
