    Shin and leg pain

    Been getting really bad pain like someone is kicking me in the shins and my legs have been sore on and off. I haven't done anything strenous I've done one BodyBalance class Monday and wen on my exercise bike for 15minutes on Tuesday. Is there anything in pregnancy that can cause this pain? Or is it just some random phantom pain to just hope goes away? Cheers and thank you

    That's what I thought but it's right in the bone. It's gone now but keeps coming back. My mum said shin splints or something but that's only from doing too much sport?

    you dont have to do a lot of sport to get shin splints so that is a possibility.ew times
    i have had them a few times - what helped was getting a massage oil and massaging the bony bit of the shin, like you are doing hard rubs down the length of the shin bone with your thumb... not sure if that makes sense?? HTH
