2. Ankle Injuries
One of the most common causes of pain is injury to the area, where it’s not caused by a chronic condition such as arthritis. If you feel a sudden pain in your shin, usually either as sharp or radiating, then it could be possible that an injury to the knee or shin has been sustained – and it might not be an obvious type of injury, but instead one that happened without realizing it.
Shin pain can be caused by several different types of direct bodily injury: One of the areas that you might have hurt when you experience shin pain is the ankle.
Any ankle injury, particularly sprains, have the ability to radiate through to other parts of the body – and if you’ve recently hurt your ankle in any way, you can expect to feel this pain move through, sometimes to parts of the body that include the shins.
