Shin Splints can occur from any stress to the bones in the lower leg, as an ex-dancer....(thank you fibro) it is a condition that i was particularly aware of, a bad landing could cause shin splints. Have you tripped and landed funny?

Pain from shin splints is quite different from Fibro pain, It is localized to the lower leg and a lot sharper. If you are concerned see a dr. Once you have had shin splints you will immediately recognize the pain as being different from the fibro. I do hope it is "just the fibro" shin splints on top of fibro is not nice.
