Questions & Answers

I have tenderness in spots down the inside of my leg and spots around the ankle. What could be the problem?

Each spot feels like a bad bruise but there's no discoloration and this pain came out of nowhere the other night. I can even feel the pain if its touch gently. The spots form a line and curve around my ankle. I can still walk and everything, but what if this worsens?

I have included a link to the Mayo Clinic website that describes the nature of shin splints.
