I have a feeling of tightness in my shins when i move my legs, it feels like someone is squeezing my lower legs with clamps when i move them, this has been going on for a year, what disease could this be?

Could inadequate footwear for your activities be a cause? Are you a runner or long distance walker? Could this symptom be from overuse at work? If overuse causes pertain to you, try stretching exercises that are recommended for people with shin splints. If no improvement, consult an orthopedic specialist for evaluation and advice.
