Answers:
A primary culprit causing shin splints is a sudden increase in distance or intensity of a workout schedule. This increase in muscle work can be associated with inflammation of the leg muscles, those muscles used in lifting the foot (the motion during which the foot pivots toward the tibia). The pain associated with PTS occurs on the medial (inside) border of the tibia (shin bone). The pain present when you start exercising becomes less severe as you warm up but becomes worse than ever after you stop exercising. Posterior tibial syndrome often occurs in beginning runners, who are unaccustomed to the activity and running surface, but can occur in seasoned athletes when they change running surfaces, exercise in different shoes, or increase their intensity or duration of exercise.Health Question & Answer
