3. Shin Splint Symptoms
The main symptom of shin splints is a burning pain around the middle and lower parts of the shin bone. The discomfort is usually felt on the inner part of the tibia and can affect both legs. The affected area may be sore to touch.
When someone first gets shin splints, the pain is usually worse at the beginning of exercise and fades as the session goes on. If the condition continues, the discomfort can last throughout. Pain on the days following exercise is also common.
