Periostitis is just fancy for shin splints.
just inflammation of connective tissue around your bone-mostly from pulling of the tendon from your muscle on the bone and that portion is irritated. by running on it you cant really hurt it anymore than you have. Basically no permanent damage. But by training through it will take longer to recover.people have trained through them-its quite common. I think of them as a mental injury-accept the pain and recognize you cant get hurt anymore. that will help you toughen through it.


Thank you for the reply. One follow-up question: This injury started off as just a slight nag, which I ignored and continued training. In the early stages it probably felt about what it feels like now. After 4 weeks of trying to train through the injury it became steadily more painful. I did have an MRI that showed no stress fx or the like. Are you saying that I may have continued through that pain and eventually healed? I'm just wondering why if I start my training now it might be different this time.

Thanks!
