Your shins will always be in pain. There’s no magic pill. Just accept that. Kick the heavy bag consistently. Again and Again. Running helps toughen your shins as well. Recover. Heal. Rinse. Repeat. For Recovery: Place a warm towel and rest it on the shin. This will increase blood flow to damaged tissue. Roll out the shins and the surrounding areas using a massager, foam roller, massage stick, tennis ball, or lacrosse ball.
