The cause : and treatment of MEDIAL TIBIAL PAIN SYNDROME ("shin splints') is still not completely understood but it is generally associated with prolonged running...if the pain you are having is NOT ...you have another reason for the pain...A visit to an Orthopedic specialist is suggested! Hope this is helpful' Dr Z
