I'm having the hardest time deciding if I should keep my appointment for my shins on Tuesday. Mostly because my insurance has changed, so it might end up being way more expensive than I think. And I hate to generalize...but the chance of the Dr not really listening and saying just stay off it for a week or two...is highly likely.

There's a few scenarios.
I go, they say it's just shin splints, to take a couple weeks off. This either works or doesn't work and I have to go back

I go, they take an x-ray, find something good or bad, and I at least know if it's serious or not.

I guess I have a few more days to decide though. For today, I rode the bike, which was nice because it didn't hurt at all. I didn't leave limping.

Last night it was not tender to the touch, and that's when my doubt started, is it really not anything? But today, even after being careful, it is tender to the touch, in that same spot, about a third up my leg underneath/right on the rim of that flat part of bone.

And now, i just starting looking at google images, and that sharp pain does seem to be where the stress fracture occurs. Uggg. I guess it just depends on what the pain feels like when you actually have fracture. It's proven hard to research but maybe I should try harder?
