RE: Discover Your Body Week 2 Entry. Lower Leg.
Shin splints are the worst. I used to get them from jumping rope training for tennis. Also, tennis elbow ain’t no joke either!

Yes, they are both things I heard people reference but never gave them credit for how bad they were, they were just words to me. The tennis elbow is bursitis I think, which I've had in my knees, terrible! So tender. Nothing funny about that elbow.
I didn't know that the bumps of pain I always had were shin splints, I had to completely wipe myself out with stress fractures to learn to listen to my body.
Very often people with connective tissue disorders are taught from a young age that their pain is not significant. I have done a lot of learning lately.
Thanks for commenting in a relevant way, it's rare at the moment. I appreciate it.
