Smileee :)

I can feel it deeply, somewhere between my left thigh and buttock. Maybe just from having so much random.. excess? lol.. fat on my butt? I've been running for over a month now and picked up 5k, but my joints are still cranky in my knees and ankles and this sharp pain? Do I need better running shoes maybe?

Answer
you say you've been having joint problems, have you noticed anything with your leg socket or hip? I kinda doubt it but it but it may be from there...

most likely it's just a muscle problem...quads or hamstrings? make sure you stretch out that leg really well and if you're running and it starts to hurt, try walking it off. try to take note of when the pain comes and when it doesn't.

I had a knew problem during my second year of track. i would feel this paralyzing pain underneath my knee cap (lol) and it was only when I put weight on it. I just remember doing a lot of flexibility stretching and knee bends and stuff. it went away in a month.

how long has it been hurting since? if its been a long time, maybe you should go see a doc. also go it if its really bad or swelling or anything else happens. but if its only been like a week, try and take a rest and do some therapy on your own.

How can I get rid of shin splints forever?

I'm so tired of my shin splints! I've done everything I can think off to try to stop them but they keep coming back! I've iced my shins before and after my runs, stretched before and after my runs, take ibuprofen, got the right running shoes, and strengthen my shin muscles with stretching excersizes. Yet somehow they still come back :( How can I get rid of my shin splints FOREVER?

Answer
Hey, I feel your pain! I had done running for about 6 years finally after i stopped Running for County, I decided to train. So this would mean I would need to find different trainers rather than spikes!

Rather than getting fitted which is a huge problem with trainers, they can cause effects to shin splints, because of different shock absorbers and loading rates whether we run using different sides of our feet.

So be sure to check whether your trainers that you are running in are either too small or could be too big for your feet, this is why you should get them fitted for use so they they try to minimise a risk of joint injury.

I still suffer with shin splints, another way you could help minimise the risk, perhaps to rest up for a few weeks and apply ice for 20minutes every 4 hours.
I found that it was good to warm up the shin and leg muscles using a vaseline substance to keep them warm throughout stretching.
