A member asked:
Why do the front of my lower legs (shins?) hurt when i run/walk more than usual? lasts a few days or more
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like shin: Splints or medial tibial stress syndrome. It's related to repetitive stress to the shin bones(tibia) and the associated soft tissue. Excessive uphill, downhill, uneven terrain, or hard surfaces jogging/running contributes as does worn-out shoes or suboptimal biomechanics around the way your foot plants/strikes on the ground.
