...the fleece that surrounds your shinbone and which gets inflammated when you have shin-splints? Couldn't find any translation anywhere.

Yeah I know FBC, I have that too. But I feel kinda stupid to say 'the fleece that surrounds your shinbone' in every post I make about splints. I asked my doc but he didn't know either.

Tibial Periosteum is the word your looking for cyberstefke.

The pain associated with shin splints is thought to correspond to the area where the soleus muscle of the calf attaches to the shin bone, or tibia. The soleus muscle is pulling really hard on the backside of the tibia, thereby causing pain. This causes inflammation in the outer layer of the bone, called the periosteum. It is directly related to the repetitive pounding forces associated with running, etc. The soleus muscle has to flex and pull in response to the pounding and this aggravates the periosteum.

BTW,I downloaded all that trance you recommended,good shit,especially Tiesto's stuff,burnt it on a minidisc for cardio sessions :) Thanks

Why thank you very much Deca. It makes sense since a shin-splint is called periostitis in medical terms.

Glad you like that stuff. I'll let you know of anymore when I've downloaded 'm.
