A member asked:

What do i do i'm limping and shin pain when i walk stand or run it's been 9 days since i hurt myself and still hurts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably “shin splints”. Should resolve spontaneously over 10-14 days. Ibuprofen will help. If it persists (or was originally associated with leg trauma) you may need an x-ray to rule out hairline fracture
