What actually are shin splints?

265 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!

that happens when the muscles and tissues around your shin bone get all stressed out from too much running, jumping, or pounding on hard surfaces. It’s like your shins are saying, “Hey, slow down!” because they’ve had enough of the hard work without enough rest or support
