shinShin pain, also known as Shin Splints, is characterised by pain felt alongside the shinbone. The most common shin pain is known as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), which is felt on the inner side of the shinbone, whilst 'anterior shin (or leg) pain' refers to pain felt on the outer side. You can however feel shin pain on both sides of the shinbone simultaneously. If shin pain is ongoing or re-occurring it should definitely be treated as early as possible to prevent further damage such as stress fractures.

What causes Shin pain?
