Shin issue..?

[andyoxon]

Last few days I've had an ache in both legs around shin area, mid/lower - side.  I guess this could be shin splints?  Can't remember the last time I had this.  IYE should it be OK in a few days i.e. Sunday, if I take it easy?  What's the cause, 'over doing' it?

If it is shin splints then the front of the shin will be tender to pressure.

Cause is usually unusual stress, particularly repetitive heel impacts. If you don't normally walk or run much, just jogging to the bus stop can give you shinsplints.

Ah Ok, thanks.  No real impact involved.  Perhaps it's just I've overworked some of the muscles in this area, hopefully it'll 'go away' soon.
