Is it possible for me to play football with a shin hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fascia hernia - Yes: The leg muscles next to your large leg bone (tibia) form the anterior and lateral compartments. The fascia ("hot dog casing") around the muscles bellies can develop a hernia. This can occur in conjunction with what is called an exercise-induced exertional compartment syndrome. Theuncomfortable/painful muscle tightness that occurs with exercise, subsides with rest. Seek orthopaedic evaluation.
