could this be shin splints?

i think tasty is correct. if that is right this is what you need to know about them. Shin splints refers to a painful condition that develops along the inside (medial edge) of the shin (tibia). The usual location is along the lower half of the tibia, anywhere from a few inches above the ankle to about half-way up the shin. The repeated running cycle of pounding and push off results in muscle fatigue, which may then lead to higher forces being applied to the fascia, the attachment of fascia to bone, and finally the bone itself. Respectively, this represents a spectrum from mild to severe. On the relatively more severe end of the scale the injury may progress from stress reaction within the bone to an actual stress fracture. if you have anymore questions ask me. i have had them and you dont want them

splints is probably right, i feel bad for him, really sounds like it hurts. Is there anyway too prevent it?, cause i wouldnt want this to happen to me.

this mainly happnes to people that do a lot of running, track cross country, or even running. it is something that happens over a long period of abuse on the muscles and bones in your leg.

Thanks man

My Shin splints wont ever go away.  My doctor just says "rest"  so I did stop running for 1 year and did not lift any weights.  They still came back.
