Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My height is 5 feet 7 inches, and I weigh 136 pounds. I feel pain in my left leg (shin pain). I have continued running for four years, and now feel shin pain. How can I get rid of this pain?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This happens due to stress injury of the tibia bone or muscle tears of the leg. Pain will usually appear after five to seven days of running or changing the pattern of jogging. You need to take the following medications,

  1. One Tablet of Piroxicam 20 milligrams every day after food.
  2. One Tablet of Rabeprazole 20 milligrams every day before food.
  3. One Tablet of Shelcal (calcium) 500 milligrams 30 days before food.
  4. One Tablet of Vitamin D daily for ten days, then once a month for 11 months.
  5. Apply Dolonex ointment (Piroxicam) after getting up in the morning.

Take these tablets only if you are not allergic to them. Also, do not take these tablets if you are a known case of bronchial asthma. Use a tibia shin splint orthosis - while walking or running or going to the gym. Use this for at least four months. Take rest for two weeks and then start your fitness course as before.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
