What actually are shin splints?

267 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!

Funny big leg bone go ouchy because of overexertion of tissues near it (causing inflammation)

As for why it takes a while to heal, it’s mostly because it’s nothing serious so ice and rest and it heals over time
