Can knee pain lead to shin pain?

Yes: Knee pain can refer to the shin. Knee pain can alter gait and provoke shin pain.

Muscles of thigh/leg: The leg includes the ankle/knee/hip joints and all the associated muscles in the hip/thigh/leg. So think flesh=muscles/tissue and not bone/cartilage/meniscus with leg pain! start self-care with a wellness program of vits, magnesium glycinate, sleep hygiene, exercise, self massage, chiropractor, yoga, heat, epsom tub soaking, and stretching. I like acupuncture and trigger point injections.
