Knee Pain

Knee pain refers to pain that occurs in and around your knee joint. Knee pain can be caused by problems with the knee joint itself, or it can be caused by conditions affecting the soft tissues, ligaments, tendons, or bursae that surround the knee.

The severity of knee pain can vary widely. Some people may feel only a slight twinge, while others may experience debilitating knee pain that interferes with their day-to-day activities. In most cases, self-care measures can help you cope with knee pain.

Shin Splint

Shin splint is also known as tibial stress, felt as a throbbing or ache in the shins. You might probably have felt this when you sprinted to catch that moving bus or even during your daily jogging.

At times, the condition tends to heal by itself, as it is not strictly speaking medical condition. The shin splint is more a symptom of a deeper problem.
