9. Stress fractures

Stress fractures in the legs are incomplete breakages of bone that are a result of overuse. Initially, the pain might feel like a shin splint. These fractures occur over time, and you may only notice symptoms after a particularly tough workout. If you suffer from this condition, you should avoid weight-bearing exercises and get plenty of rest for several weeks until the condition has cleared up.
