what are the symptoms for a shin splint?

Answer 1

Symptoms are pain in the front of the leg, usually about midway between ankle and knee. When working out, the pain starts right away and lessens during the workout. The pain can return later in the workout or the next morning. The pain may be dull at first but can become severe enough to prevent you from working out.

If you suspect you have a shin splint but have not been formally diagnosed, it is important that you get diagnosed. The symptoms of a shin splint are the same as the symptoms for a tibia stress fracture. An xray is needed to tell the difference. Also, a shin splint can become a stress fractureif you don't follow treatment properly.
