A member asked:
I've got continually aching shin bones. what's the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Shins can hurt when people overuse the muscles and tendons that lie in the groove of the "shin bone". This is called shin splints, or tendinitis. There are other possible causes, however, including bone diseases. You really should have someone quickly examine the shins and decide if an anti inflammatory like Ibuprofen is the right choice or not.
