Q.

Why do my shins hurt when I walk briskly?

On my lunch break I decided to get my trainers on and go for a brisk 15 min walk, mostly uphill, to try and burn a few extra cals.

When I'm about half way round my left shin becomes really achy and painful, I thought I could walk it off at first but that makes my foot go a bit numb and I end up limping. Sometimes it does the same in my right leg but less severe. I'm only 21! Surely I should't have such aches and pains yet!

I work out at home doing various exercise DVD's for around an hour every evening and don't have a problem. Also if I walk somewhere at my regular walking speed it doesn't hurt or if I walk quickly in heels instead of trainers.

I wanted to start running while the weather is getting better but I'm worried about getting this pain.

Why is this and what can I do about it?
