Anyone know anything about Tibialis Anterior Muscle Strain ?

Got a problem with my lower left leg.
Not painful so much as tender around my shin.
Been that way for a few days now.

Trouble with having so much 'information' online is that you can start imagining all sorts !

My self-diagnosis comes via questions input to NHS.org just to try and get an idea of what might be the problem and whether there was anything i could actually do about it myself.

Not really. But I got pateller tendonitis and a pulled hamstring. You might look up some isometric stretches which might be worth a shot? If it was from overuse or overloading, then you might wanna just not put much pressure on it for a week or two; then start sorta loading it lightly to strengthen the muscle.

But fuck if I know. There are also nurse practitioners who are a lot cheaper than doctors. Might be worth a shot.

@Tatsumi Yeah i read that bandaging; rest and elevation were recommended. Just don't have the time 😖

@Picklebobble2 You'd better find the time. It could get a lot worse if you load it further. :/

Failing all that, I mean, you could wrap it up as tight if you have to use it, as you can to add some support and hopefully not damage it further. Though, I think that's typically more for joints, so...I dunno.
