What Causes Pain In The Shin?
Hello Dr. Rynne, I am experiencing some pain in my shin. The pain has been coming and going for sometime now but has been flaring up every other week lately. WebMD says it might be a shin splint or bursitis. I wonder if I should go to the doctor to get an X-ray since it has been issue for some time?
