Female, 31

I'm a practicing PT with a Doctorate for the past 4 years now. Although it may not seem like a long time, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience in various PT settings. I've worked anywhere from outpatient therapy, home health, aquatic therapy, inpatient rehab, and private clients. I now also instruct on an online prep course for graduates seeking to pass their National Board Examination. PT is a very rewarding job, but can also SUCK, which explains my quest to find the ideal situation

Hi, I am a runner and have been training for track season for a few months now. I have only been doing 1-3 miles. Then this past Saturday I went with a running group and had me go 7miles. Now my shins are hurtin and I positive it is shin splints because I have had then before. Should I stop running for a few days or should I just do light runs. I don't want it to turn into a stress fracture and end my season what should I do.

Would swimming be OK if my hips are coming out of place and causing my lower back pain to worsen? Typical exercises hurt my back and my knees at the moment so I am considering swimming. Thoughts or suggestions?
