Re: Shin Splints/ Charlie Horses

Two things helped me. Quinine which used to be available over the counter.

Might be prescription now. The other was additional Calcium.

Quinine really helped and is a common treatment for malaria.

the flu over New Years- blech! But all feeling better now. Over the past few

months, Brett has complaining of pains on the front and back of his shins, but

mainly in the front. I am assuming it is similar to shin splints and/ or charlie

horses. I have been massaging them, using a heating pad and using Bio-Freeze and

when it is bad enough, using ibuprofen.

get in. Just wondered if anyone else experiences this on a regular basis and if

you have any suggestions? Thanks!
