How Shin Pain Can Develop
Cases of shin pain commonly start as mild discomfort the day after exercise. The shin may also hurt to touch. Unhealed, it can progress to an unrelenting pain that occurs even when resting and force someone to take time off exercise.
At first, people may find that shin pain eases after warming up, allowing pain-free activity, only to return when cooled off after exercise. It's essential at this stage to address the underlying factors before it progresses.
