Just wondering if anyone has suffered with these before.
It's my belief that I 'may' be suffering with Shin splints.
I've recently started netball after years away from team sports, and am finding that my shins are quite painful whilst I am running, and also for a period afterwards.
I've just bought myself some new shoes, and am going to book in for weekly massages with a local lady, but was wondering what else I can do? Who do I actually go and see to get diagnosed? Just to my GP and then no doubt onto someone else, or do I start with a physio or podiatrist?

Does anyone know any great exercises or stretches to help at all?
I find after a few days of no running, my shins feel perfectly fine again, and strength training doesn't seem to worry them at all... it's the running that I am doing during netball training that is the killer.
