What Causes Painful Bumps On Shin?

I have been having mild pain in my shins and could not understand why because that is not normal for me unless I did a long distance run or something. I have not been working out recently so it was strange. I looked down and notice bumps on my shins and then began feeling them and notice bumps on my shin bones going all the way down the shins. It then made me think of a strange boney protrusion that developed on my breast bone a couple of years ago. But I never had it checked because it is subtle and causes me no problems. It now makes me wonder if I have something strange going on with my bone health.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you have got stress fracture of both tibia as probably it occurred after long distance run. Treatment of it is Analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Rest is advisable for 2-3 weeks to get relief. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
