My shin hurts terribly, i cant tell if it is osgood schlatters or stress fractures.

Location/age: Osgood Schlatter will occur in growing kids at the top of the tibia (shin bone) while stress fractures will be located further down,mainly mid shaft.After growth stops you don't get Osgood Schlatters any more.
