why does my shin hurt
It may be more towards the front of your leg with anterior shin splints or the back of your leg with posterior shin splints. There may also be some slight swelling at the inside of the lower leg, between the knee and the ankle. When you first feel shin splint pain, it is likely to stop when you stop moving. That is typical for shin splints. If it continues to hurt after a few minutes of inactivity, it might be a sign that you are progressing to having a stress reaction or a stress fracture.
