shin splits?

shin splits?

after jogging for about 2/3 minutes i get this really bad pain in my shins which usually goes away within 10 minutes of stopping. it only happens when i jog though, i'm fine when it comes to walking or running. could this by any chance be shin splits? any other possibilities?

Hello!

You can also have pain with a history of no exercise for a long time. As you do not have any constant pain and you do not continue the pain after your stop it can be due to your  low fitness level.

I would suggest you to continue walking and jogging at a lower speed and slowly increase your speed and intensity and if this pain continues after couple of weeks then you have to follow up with an orthopedician.

Take care!
