question: Left Leg: Mid shin on outside is tender to the touch and when pressure is applied it sends little sharp pains up, down and across shin bone. Then it also hurt from that spot across the shin bone and up to inside of my knee. Also tender to the touch including when my jeans touch it. Also including when I wear my shoes i get a weird pressure on the top of my left food causing pain to shoot up my shin. The pain is better in the morning but gradually gets worse especially if I move around a lot. I am hoping it s shin splints and not a clot of some sort. Because I am getting on a plane at the end of the month to go home. What do you think?
