I got my first case of shinsplints (which is really broken bones, just not broken in a way that gets a cast) about 5 years ago. And I couldn’t shake it, and couldn’t get rid of it, and it just wouldn’t go away. Months any time I did something with impact it hurt. Then one day I started craving milk (not generally much of a milk guy, it’s mostly for cooking in my home), and I spent a couple weeks just slamming milk down, half gallon would last 2 days tops. At the end of that my legs stopped hurting, shinsplints were gone, haven’t been a problem since. Cholesterol went through the roof for a while, but that’s much less painful and not tough to cure.
So, in the words of so many developers: works on my machine.
That’s really interesting. Looks like “the wisdom of the body” took over to get you to give it what it needed to heal. Of course “it” is “you.”
