What Causes Random Shin Splints?
Hi! I m a 21 year old student who s majoring in dance. I ve been dancing my entire life. For a while (give or take the past two years) I ve been getting random shin splints in my left shin. I m concerned because they come from no activity. For example, I ll start feeling them after sitting on a plane for a while or yesterday I got them after driving 30 minutes to work. I m concerned it could be something more than just shin splints. Thanks for any help you can offer, Liv
