A member asked:
I took my first spin class today, after some time as a runner. i now have tenderness and localized swelling in my calf. is this a shin splint?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calf strain.: It doesn't sound like shin splints. Sounds more like exertional strain on the calf muscle, probably due to the stress of the new exercise.
