Hi everyone,

Was wondering what you guys would recommend for a new start on a road bike. I was hoping to keep it below £500, so I've done abit of research and it seems going for a sale bike would be best (last years model). I need a new activity, as running and football are looking unlikely to be an option for me anymore. If I don't start something soon I am going to explode lol

All help and suggestions welcome. Cheers

Hi

First time poster here, but I have been having real problems with my shins not the bone, the muscle running down the outside of the leg. After about 5 minutes running the pain becomes unbearable, and ill have to rest to let the pain subside and start again. I have also noticed that I have very limited movement of my feet because of the pain. I've seen a number of physios over the years and most have said shin splints. I have also gone to a podiatrist and have the insoles and Ive been wearing them for three years now. But I'm still getting the pain.

The latest physio I have seen mentioned something called compartment syndrome, he is recommending I see a surgeon about an operation to help with it. Has anyone ever heard about this or suffered from similar? I'm just trying to learn more about the condition.

Thanks
