A member asked:

I get shin injury every time i do cardio exercises e.g. run in place,jumping jacks.what is the reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Shin injury: "Shin injury" can be several things: a muscle strain, swelling of the muscle under a membrane in the leg, stress fracture. Why does this happen? overuse, nerve damage, malnutrition or malabsorption of food. It is best you speak to your doctor. I would start by avoiding strenuous exercises
