Shin splints is the general name given to pain at the front of the lower leg. Shin splints is not a diagnosis in itself but a description of symptoms of which there could be a number of causes. The most common cause is inflammation of the periostium of the tibia (sheath surrounding the bone). Traction forces occur from the muscles of the lower leg on the periostium.

They are pain in the shins. I have had them, and trust me you will know. It hurts when you walk or rund and you get lumps in your shins. I think that they can be stress fractures in the shin bone. If you have them put ice on them for 20mins at a time and rest up.
