6. Inflamed Skin

One of the symptoms you may experience if you have shin splints is inflammation of the skin surrounding the affected muscles. The skin may also appear red, and it may be tender to the touch. The affected part of the leg often swells as blood flow increases. Because of the swelling, you may need to apply ice on the area to reduce discomfort. In some cases, anti-inflammatory medication may be necessary to bring down inflammation. Consult your physician before using any type of medication.
