| shin splints |
Athletes often complain about "shin splints" at the beginning of a sports season. They're describing a pain in the front of the lower leg between the knee and ankle. In their hurry to get in shape, athletes can overtrain without properly conditioning their muscles. The result can be injury to the tendons, muscles or bones in the lower leg.
