Medial tibial stress syndrome recovery

1 watcher

b8s Mar 2016 1:34pm, 2 Mar 2016 6 posts	0 b8s I've been struggling for a while with medial tibial stress syndrome...have had physio which has been a huge help, but I still have a slight twinge where the pain was. It's not bad enough to be actually painful when running, more of an increased awareness of that spot/dull ache. I'm just wondering if this is a normal part of recovery that will fade over time or if it means I'm not fully recovered yet and it will start getting worse as I run more? I don't want to risk getting hurt again as I'm supposed to be doing my first half marathon in May and would like to get to training for it properly! I know I should ask my physio therapist, and I will when I see him again next week but I just wondered if anyone else had experienced the same thing and what the outcome was?
