Show Notes
Shin splints are a common type of leg pain caused by repetitive stress on the bones and muscles in the lower leg, particularly around the tibia. The condition, also known as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), is characterised by pain and tenderness along the inner or front of the lower leg. It is often triggered by activities like running, jumping or other high-impact sports. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at risk factors, how to diagnose it, typical treatment options and prognosis.
