4. Pain in the Heels
If you experience pain in the shins, it’s pretty obvious that the root of the problem could be shin splits; but often the pain doesn’t begin in the shins but can be felt in other parts of the body such as the knees or ankles first – and sometimes the pain can even appear to come from the heels before anything else.
Pain in the heels is common with regular exercise when you’ve pushed your body too far, but it can also mean that you have an underlying injury as shin splits causing it.
See your doctor for the first signs of pain and discomfort. It could save you a lot of further injuries later on – and shin splits are luckily easy to treat in most cases and the pain should naturally go away.
Never take any chances with your health: Subjecting an existing injury to more stress is only going to lead to another worse injury accompanying it.
