Shin splints: This could be shin splints (aka medial tibial stress syndrome). The term "shin splints" refers to pain along or just behind the shinbone. Shin splints occur during physical activity & result from too much force being placed on your shinbone & connective tissues that attach your muscles to the bone. Common in runners & in those who participate in activities with sudden stops and starts.
