Post Body

I recently started a new job, which part of the description is walking for literal miles and miles every day. I pick units from a warehouse for 12 hours a day. Aside from the usual soreness of walking a shit ton when I’m not really used to, I’ve noticed a certain pain in my left shin on the outside edge. Doing some digging, I realized it has to be a shin splint. I can’t really afford to take off work for weeks, plus it’s a brand new job. Is there a way I can recover safely or at least ease the pain? Every step hurts like hell. Any and all help is appreciated.
