Re: Shin Splints/ Charlie Horses

If the pain is located at the upper part of the shin, there is a somewhat

common condition called Osgood Schlatters disease which affects mainly boys 10 -

15 years of age. It involves inflammation where the quadriceps tendon attaches

to the shin below the knee. It generally resolves with rest and with time as the

tendon and bone matures. This may be a possibility.
