I'm not putting this under "shin splints" because I don't think that's what this is. I had to do a 5K for a martial arts class, and it did a number on my legs. I am supposed to run again at the end of next month, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. I have tried ice after exercise but it makes the pain worse. I have also worn compression sleeves and they also make things worse. I tried running without them yesterday and did a LOT better. I'm wondering if the issue is not injury per se, but more a matter of muscle spasms. Like maybe my electrolytes are off, or I'm dehydrated or something. Anyone have any ideas?

I have been using compression sleeves but they don't seem to be doing much. Do you mean KT tape?

Sorry, don't know how that posted twice... anyway... My legs are doing better when I walk but not when I try to run. It's been a week. Should I still be icing them? I rest as much as I can, even reducing walking, but I don't want to just sit with my legs elevated all day.

If I've had severe lower leg pain (not sure if it's technically shin splints), how long should I wait before I run again?
