What actually are shin splints?

275 viewsBiologyOther

I have searched on google and get “pain and tenderness along or just behind the large bone in the lower leg. They develop after hard exercise, sports”.

But I am looking to really understand what they are, what actually causes them (not just exercise) and why they take so long to heal?

Thank you!

Shin splints are essentially small tears in the muscles around your shin bone, often due to overuse during physical activity.
