Shin pain

hellen Sep 2011 10:24am, 26 Sep 2011 11,334 posts	0 hellen When I had a massage I noticed my shin hurt a bit, this was about a month ago. I also noticed when I used the fitball at the gym and did an exercise with my shin on top it hurt a bit. It doesnt hurt running, the only time I feel it is if I run my finger down the front of my shin. first noticed it a couple of months ago The only other time I have felt it was a few days ago lying in bed , a little bit of pain came on then went, lasted just a few seconds. Being the injury queen I am a bit paranoid about it but it seems too minor to go to the fizz for. Any suggestions, I looked up shin splints and it doesnt sound like that but worried if this is how they start, although it has been like this a couple of months
