A member asked:
What could getting what feels like shin splints in your forearms mean? how can i treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It generally means that one is overuse the forearms, not unlike what happens with shin splints. It is generally treatment with temporary activity modification and physical therapy. In rarer cases stress fractures can occur.
