5. Lower Back Pain
Shin splints can cause a huge range of different pains elsewhere in the body that you wouldn’t think to relate to an injury in the shin; keep an eye on your health for any signs of discomfort or pain and see your doctor with a thorough list of the symptoms you’ve been experiencing if you want to be sure that you can get the right condition diagnosed and treated.
Lower back pain can indicate that the muscles or vertebrae in your back are taking too much strain. But it can also indicate issues in other parts of the body that can include certain sexually transmitted conditions, general kidney infections and sometimes other health issues like shin splits that causes back pain due to posture changes.
See your doctor in order to be sure what condition is triggering your pain or discomfort. It’s usually the only way to know for sure.
