A member asked:

What are some problems that can occur in the ankle area after i play soccer with shin guards?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blisters: Shin guards are a necessity when playing soccer. Bruises to the leg can possibly cause severe problems such as a compartment syndrome because there is little protection for the tibia in the front of the leg. Other than blisters from rubbing, I have seen few problems from wearing shin guards.
