Lumps and bumps a symptom of shin splints?

Did anyone have lumps/bumps on their low leg bones (shin area) when they had shin splints? Mine are a half-inch in diameter, hard, and seem to be right on top of the bone. Aside from the bumps I seem to have very very mild shin splints...I'm trying to figure out if the bumps are related, or something more serious.

Thanks...

I had really bad shin splints in high school ('96-97) from playing soccer on a hard turf surface. I had the same problem last year again while training for 5k runs. I never had any bumps or lumps - I'm no doctor, so I won't even venture a guess as to what they might be.

Good luck - I am always afraid of going to the doctor - but you might want to get them checked out - if for nothing else than peace of mind that you aren't hurting yourself more by ignoring them..

I have had shin splints, but no bumps or lumps...I would get it checked out. There can be many different things it could be. My cousin thought she had shin splints, but it turned out to be something more internal with her muscle separating from the bone. I would just see what it is.

I had the same thing happen. I quit running for awhile then it went away. When I started back up I gradually moved on to longer distances. They have not been back. I have no idea if it was shin splints or not.
