Nadia usually walks 10,000 steps each day, but lately she has a continuous pain in her tibia area that makes it difficult to walk. What is MOST likely happening in this scenario?

The tibia is the shinbone, and repeated walking can irritate the tissues around it and cause shin splints. Nadia’s frequent 10,000-step days and pain in the tibia area fit this overuse injury. Turf toe and Lisfranc injuries affect the foot, while a torn ACL affects the knee.
