A member asked:
Hi there, i have been medically diagnosed with shin splints, and over the last few days have had constant knee pain, can this be linked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Usually from overuse and quite common in runners and athletes. You can try OTC Advil or Aleve, (naproxen) if not allergic and I always suggest and orthopedic evaluation with x rays to rule out a stress fracture.
