Shin Splints


Overuse injury of the muscles around the tibia bone.  Due to high impact exercises like running or jumping can case this pain.  If pain diminishes shortly after you start exercising and comes back hours later this is a good sign that you have shin splints.  To help alleviate the pain you should cross train using different forms of exercise like biking, swimming and any other types of low impact exercises.  After you have healed, you should slowly build back to where you were at.
