Shin hurts while workingout

TabethaH5

My left shin has been hurting me all the time for the last few months. It hurts even worse when I workout. Today I went for a walk with my kids ( 2&4) and had to carry my 2 yo for some of they way. I thought I was going to die. as I type this my leg it throbbing and swollen. The crappy thing is my dr is gone until Tuesday..:(

Do you stretch before working out? Shin splints generally happen when you don't stretch enough but I don't know that they cause swelling...I hope whatever is happening to your leg heals up!
