Why do my shins hurt when i am exercising?

after a short time jogging my shins start to hurt. I have tried warming up, changing trainers etc but the problem still persists. My shins dont hurt at any other time!

Answer:
sounds like shin splints
this condition is hereditary

you are probably aplying too much pressure on them

try gentler exercise nothing too hard
and also try to drink more dairy products like milk before you exercise.

Shin splints.

Here is a trick I learned to help with that. Even if your lactose intolerant, it will help.

Drink a glass of milk before you do your exercises.

It sounds like shin splints to me.

Make sure you have a good pair of trainers I was exercising in bad trainers and had really bad legs and then got better trainers and was like a new person! Good shoes definitely help.
I used to get this while on the Treadmill. I was told it was Shin Splints as all the other answerers think too. Apparantly the condition is hereditary? so maybe check if other family members suffer from it too! I helped the symptoms by massaging the front of my legs - use moisturising cream to keep the skin smooth, and apply a small amount of pressure while rubbing in a circular motion and kneading up and down the leg(s). And try to rest your legs just for a little while - rest for too long and they'll seize up!

Hope this helps!
You may be suffering from 'shin splints', stop exercising and see your doctor.
