What are shin splints? I told someone my shins are really sensative & sore lately & someone told me it's from
walking? What exactly does it mean? Additional Details The pain is right in the front of my leg & when my daughter sits on my lap & her heals touch my shins....ouch!
Shin splints are just a really sharp pain in your leg, you get them from things like running or walking or doing athletic stuff

Shin splints is a general term used to refer to a painful condition in the shins caused by small tears in the muscles where they connect to the shins. It is often caused by running or jumping, and may be very slow to heal.
My friend had them and it took him awhile for the pain to subside. Just take it easy and see a doctor if necessary.

Yes, I get those too. Especially it I'm climbing hills, stairs, bicycling with clips or running more than I'm used too. It's an injury that usually happens from pushing off strongly with your foot. Try stretching gently a couple of times a day by pointing your toes down when you are off your feet and rub gently. Giving them rest for a day will help too. They usually come up to your new speed in no time. They used to say stretch before you exercise now they say stretch after when your muscles are warmed up a little.

shin splints occur right on the side of your bone about 4 inches above your ankle. running/walking/stairclimbing all contribute to shin splints. it might not be that your out of shape, its just that your legs aren't used to this much exercise. ice before and after exercise and wrap it up while walking. to help prevent shin splints, you can buy Dr. Sholes insoles for your shoes. also, applying bengay or icy hot helps releave the pain.
hope you get better soon. :)

Shin splints are when the muscle is peeling off the bones in your legs. I've had them two-three times and they are SO painful. It means you aren't wearing the correct shoes, and you need more support! Get orthodics and wear them in your gym shoes all the time. Also, ICE!! :) Hope I helped!

Everyone pretty much told you what they are. According to my doctor they can be caused by walking "incorrectly" one of the things that contributes is that the calf muscles start to get firmer and this creates a pull on the muscles on the front portion of your leg. AFTER resting until the damage is healed, an exercise that can help prevent recurrence is heel walking. Taking at about 20 steps with your toes up so you are walking on your heels. This will balance the muscles on the front and stretch the calf. This is an unstable way to walk, so do it inside on a level, carpeted floor.
