recently i found out i had shin splints (read on wikipedia if you dont know what it is) and on wikipedia it says it can lead to a stress fracture. so what would they do to a stress fracture in the tibia caused by shin splints?
people always misunderstand eh…i dont think i have a stress fracture. i just wanna know what would happen if i get one
it depends on the degree of the stress fracture. for mild ones, you’d just be put on crutches. for moderate ones, you’d be put in a walking boot and for severe ones, you’d need to be put in a fiberglass cast. although, it is really unlikely your shin splints would lead to a stress fracture.

you CAN’T self-diagnose a stress fracture;; & prolonged pain or increased pain is NO reason to self- diagnose that shin splints has led to a stress fracture;; you need to see a doc if you THINK the symptoms have worsened;; but frankly, it’s much easier to monitor what you do on your legs & what have you done lately to allow more stress to the MUSCLES of your calves (not just talking the ones behind your leg);; get to a doc!!!
