What actually are shin splints?

263 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!

an inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue around your tibia. Pain typically occurs along the inner border of the tibia, where muscles attach to the bone. Shin splint pain most often occurs on the inside edge of your tibia (shinbone).
