Shin splints" is a term people use to describe a pain they get in their shins when they exercise. The medical term for shin splints is "medial tibial stress syndrome."
Treatment involves:
●Rest
●Elevation
●Ice your shin – Put a cold gel pack, bag of ice, or bag of frozen vegetables on your shin every 1 to 2 hours, for 15 minutes each time.
●Take a pain-relieving medicine -sos
Next Steps
Visit to Ortho Doc if persists or increases.

Hello Ma’am,
Having pain in shin area on running is suggestive of stress injury/ reaction in tibia bone. This can be concerning if left unattended as there is a risk, though Low of having a fracture. Please get x ray tibia to have a look of any stress reaction. If negative, I will recommend MRI of leg also to look for stress changes (it’s more sensitive than X ray). Ultimately he has to curtail his activities and reduce his walking and running distance. I would also like to evaluate for Vit D deficiency.
Next Steps
X-ray, MRI leg, Vit D level
Health Tips
Reduce walking and running distance and speed
