Leg problem

<p>So about an injury in Cross County.</p>

<p>When it still hurts when you aren't running, is it more likely to be a stress fracture or shin splints??</p>

<p>I've stopped for a week and only did light cross training but it still hurts.</p>

<p>It hurts my left shin to go up stairs and stand on my toes of my left leg. Also, sometimes it randomly hurts when I walk. </p>

<p>Yes, I am going to a doctor, but I want opinions because I don't like waiting.</p>

<p>Well, I could easily see it being either one. An MRI will detect if it’s a stress fracture, which I pray isn’t the case. A stress fracture could end your season, depending on severity. Shin splints, on the other hand, are relatively easy to run through.</p>

<p>I think it’s most likely an injury.</p>
