Shin splints refer to pain along your shin bone, or tibia, which is the bone on the front of the lower leg.
Shin splints are frequently experienced by runners.
Shin splints are another injury that is often due to the lack of a warm-up or inadequate stretching.
They also occur due to overuse, playing on hard surfaces, or wearing unsupportive shoes.
If you have flat feet, you are more likely to suffer from shin splints.
