4. Shin Splints
Shin splints describes pain felt in the lower legs, usually at the front – in the shins. This pain can continue indefinitely but might be felt worst when jumping, running or squatting down. It’s often caused by repeated impact sports which can overload the muscles and tendons.
It’s also more common in those with flat feet, or with outward rotation of the foot and leg. The pain will usually go away with rest, though it might also require anti-inflammatory drugs.
Listen to your body and don’t force yourself to continue when you notice pain!
