It seems that I have medial shin splints or more correctly:
medial tibial stress syndrome.
I felt pain, though slight, last weekend and throughout this week when walking. The pain is in a familiar area...inside of my lower left leg (a few inches above my ankle). I have a history of shin splints and want to take no chances. This means time off from running (2 weeks?).

Do I have a pronation problem? Don't know. I think only a gait analysis will give me a definitive answer. The image below illustrates the location of my injury (I've also suffered from anterior compartment syndrome but let's not even go there!).
