Do you feel pain on the front and outside of the shin, especially when your heel touches the ground during running and becomes constant after a while? This may be a symptom of shin splint and it is a term used to describe lower leg pain. It is caused by exercises such as running, jumping, dancing or other sports. Don't worry; by doing proper muscle strengthening exercises, you can get rid of the pain in 3 days.
Tendinitis, stress factures, compartment syndrome, high impact training, excessive training, poor technique or biomechanical problems such as Pes Planus (flat feet) or pronation, standing for long periods and wearing high- heeled shoes are the causes of shin splint. Shin splints can be diagnosed by using techniques like taking patient history, physical examination, radiology, measuring the pressure within the compartments, magnetic resonance imaging and x-ray computed tomography scans.
