How do you know if you have shin splints? do they hurt a lot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shin splints: These are , by definition , the slight pulling away of the muscle at the anterior or front of the tibia or ,commonly called, shin bone . Pain is the usual symptom , but seeing a physician will make sure it isn't something else.
