A member asked:
After i walk steadily for about half kilometer, the front muscles below the knee state to tighten and hurt a lot. is anything wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shin splints?: Sounds like this might be 'shin splints', a minor muscle strain below the knee next to the tibia bone. Rest is recommended until pain resolves.
