Shin splints refer to the pain in the front of the leg that affects the tibia bone.
Medial tibial stress syndrome, as it is medically known, is common in runners, dancers or athlete that have increased or intensified their training routines.
Shin splints present with:
- Tenderness
- Soreness
- Pain
- Swelling of the shinbone and lower leg are common symptoms.
A sudden increase in the intensity, duration or frequency of exercise, running on uneven terrain or having flat feet or high arches are all risk factors for shin splints.
