Whatâs going on with blue spruce? A combination of factors is likely causing the decline of blue spruce trees throughout Michigan. It seems that everywhere you look you see Colorado blue spruce is showing needle loss, dead branches, browning foliage and even large trees dying across Michiganâs landscapes (Photo 1). This article looks at the likely combination of factors causing this decline. Colorado blue spruce performs best on moist, well-drained loam to sandy loam soils with a pH of 6.0 â 7.5 and full sunlight. Often, we see more problems with trees that were planted on either very sandy or very wet soils.
Some people have flat arches in their feet, which can make the feet roll inward when running. This may also lead to shin splints. Most people with shin splints feel pain on the front lower part of the leg. Some people have mild swelling too.
Pain can also be there all the time. The pain can be on either side of the shinbone, or in the muscle itself-this depends on the cause. Symptoms related to shin splints may include: 1  Pain along the inner part of the lower leg. 2  Tenderness or soreness along the inner part of the lower leg. 3  Moderate swelling in the lower leg.
