if it occurs while you walk, it most likely shin splints. You can probably due for a better fitted pair of shoes, and work on some leg exercises to get the calves and shins strengthened.

i agree that it is most likely shin splints..it occurs when your allignment is off in your legs. work on some upper and lower leg exercises and be sure to focus on the quads and ahmstrings as they can be causing the pain in your shins also

Shin splints, if that is what it is is a repetive motion injury.  The tendon is actually getting over developed in a sense.  I have read that in extreme cases this tendon pulls away from the bome and can lead to a stress fracture.  Orthotics, ibuprofin, icing may help.  If it lasts more than a few weeks I would check with a doc.  There are lots of other things it could be.

Most of the time is because you got weak muscles in the legs, this causes your tendons to take more stress.

Calf raises, reverse calf raises, squats, deadlifts

I would work on those 4 exercises at least twice a week, start off with just body weight, unless you do workout then just continue at your normal weight progression. I would also go to a New Balance, get fitted for shoes. Just go there to figure out the exact size. I didn't know i was wide footed, so i always use to go up half a size on normal width. I went and got shoes half a size smaller and wide, no problems while walking.

    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
