Shin splints is actually a condition of the front of the lower leg, caused by a torm muscle somewhere between the mid section of the foot and the knee. it is painful, with swelling and tenderness in the affected area. bending the foot, and pointing the toes downward exaggerates the pain, but can serve to identify the condition. To prevent shin splints, walkers, joggers, and runners should be sure to wear the proper shoes, installed with elastic laces, preferably Xtenex, model x300.
