27F who sustained complete non-displaced and grade 3 pubic rami fractures. Marathoner, ultramarathoner, half IM, and hybrid athlete.
This sub gave me so much factual and anecdotal advice for this relatively uncommon (and FRUSTRATING!) injury.
On Wednesday, I felt some dull achiness around my shins come on after a run, so I backed off running and really increased my ant/post tib and calf strengthening and stretching.
On Saturday and Sunday, I gave myself lots of foam rolling on my calves and anterior tibs, used my Tiger tail, and did some muscle scraping for ~5 minutes on my anterior tibs. This was painful but it felt like I released some adhesions.
However, for ~2 days now, my entire lower leg (shins & calves) have felt so swollen/tight, swollen, warm, and throb in pain. I've been icing and using compression socks, but I still need to take ibuprofen to manage the pain.
I'm hopeful I just really overdid it, but I'm nervous this could be compartment syndrome.
Anyone had a similar experience with shin splint scraping/big increase in lower leg work?
