Only thing that helped me was magnesium ! I'd get terrible shin splints and calf muscle pain.
I could not go for my walks. I'd limp very painfully home after a very short way.
My sister suggested magnesium salts ( not a salt) you get it at the health food store. These pellets dissolve under your tongue. After a time on these ,regular magnesium can be used.
Honey, it really worked well for me. I was surprised. Best of all good things to you!

I bought Powerfit which is a vibrating machine that you stand on for 10 minutes a day and that has helped my legs enormously. My calf muscles don't tighten up on me like they used too. They sometimes feel tired and ache a bit late afternoon and evening and I just take a couple of paracode to get rid of that feeling.

I get this very often nd only thing that helps is stretching it always comes back but stretching lessens the time I have it

I do get shin pain sometimes bug never really thought it was connected. I bump myself a lot on the shins so maybe I have just ignored it as a symptom. I get really bad tendon and calf pain. Apart from magnesium Epson salts and painkillers . I use arnica cream which is ment to be good for bruses. It has also given me some relief on joints and swellings.x

Thanks for the answers I will try some of this I only take motrin now and have tried pink Himalayan salt to drink lemon on my water and lots of vitamins but still have lots of pain just hurt so much sometimes it's overwhelming
