A member asked:

I have very sore shin bones and fluid build up in round my shins, what can cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Shin splints: It sounds like an overuse injury. Are you a runner? Shin splints is inflamation of the muscle attachment to your tibia bones. The other possibility is a stress fracture. If it has been present for more than 2 weeks you should have it evaluated.
