odd shin splint type problem...

[RichardE]

So I started running about 3 weeks ago, added it to the sprints I was already doing to get ready for football. All going good, was easing into it so not to injure myself but I have this weird pain about 2 inches under my knee and it *feels* like a shin splint..but way too high to be one obviously. It only hurts for about 4-5 hours after I'm done whatever Im doing physically that day, be it weights, sprints, running ect, and it only hurts when I fully extend the leg, any ideas?

Sounds like something with the patellar tendon if you ask me. I'm unsure as to how that would be fixed other than to look into POSE running form and to ice it after activity.

I'll try icing it right after running/leg days/sprint days (the times it acts up the most)

Also, like I said, try the POSE running form. It has done away with all types of shin splints for a lot of people, as well as reduced fatigue, increased efficiency, reduced likelihood of injury, and increased speed. It's worth looking into.
