You are performing different types of movements with them, some strenuous, some not and that can make the difference between the times they hurt versus when they don't. But..as asimmer said, it might be worthwhile to get them checked out. On a side note, check out the shin splints thread in the injury forum and read up on that, it is a sort of check list to see if that is the actual problem. -------------- Bettia Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable.

My shins would never hurt after a few miles on the treadmill, but they would kill the next day after running in the street. Maybe your getting a high impact excerise playing netball that your not getting in the gym.
