yeah, but that is totally different. muscle soreness or pain in your shin is not comparable. because your shin is a bone and not a muscle.
He said his shins get sore and stiff like a Cramp....Bones don't cramp, Muscles do...
You ever heard of "shin splints"...?
Most shin splints can be attributed to overloading the muscles of thelower extremities or biomechanical irregularities. Muscle imbalance,including weakened core muscles lead to more lower-extremity injuries;also the inflexibility and tightness of the
gastrocnemius,
soleus, and
plantar muscles can contribute to shin splints. [sup]
[1][/sup]Increasing activity, intensity, and duration too quickly leads to shinsplints because the tendons and muscles are unable to absorb the impactof the shock force as they become fatigued; also, the tibialbone-remodeling capabilities are overloaded. Some experts believe thatthis pain is caused from disruption of Sharpey fibers that connect themedial soleus fascia through the periosteum of the tibia to insert intothe bone.[sup]
[2][/sup]With repetitive stress, the impact forces eccentrically fatigue thesoleus and create repeated tibial bending or bowing; thus, contributingto MTSS. The impact is made worse by running on uneven terrain, uphill,downhill, or hard surfaces. Improper footwear, including worn-out shoescan also contribute to shin splints.
