The most common
The most common causes of shin pain are:
- Shin splints: This is a condition that causes inflammation of the muscles and tendons on the front of the shin. Shin splints are often caused by running or other activities that involve repetitive stress on the shins.
- Stress fractures: This is a small crack in one of the bones in the shin. Stress fractures are often caused by overuse or repetitive stress on the shins.
- Compartment syndrome: This is a condition that occurs when the pressure inside one of the compartments in the leg becomes too high. Compartment syndrome can be caused by injury, overuse, or certain medical conditions.
