swim fin injuries

Just wondered if many people experience injuries from use of swim fins?

  • Haha. I was tempted to say that. :lmao: Nice guys ... Yes, don't drop a monofin on your foot! The fiberglass will slice it, as it did my big toe. Probably should have gotten stitches and a cortisone injection when it became tendonitis, but I didn't. Instead, I now have a case of tenosynovitis that I have to treat.. :( I have never had ourswimmer's issue. But occasionally after hard or long fin kick sets I feel sort of shin splinty. Long blade fins are amazing for increasing ankle flexibility though.
