My partner who has MS has suddenly developed a pain in his right shin... started 4 days ago and is getting worst. He has a physical job as a tradesman and he was working on the weekend, so at first he put it down to lifting heavy stuff...he thinks he's pulled a muscle. He's never had shin splints before so he's unsure if that term relates to him. Its not tingling or burning, just REALLY HURTS.

But then today he had to leave work early today, he practically couldn't walk in his big work boots as the pain is unbearable!

Of course I'm worried if its the MS? (He thinks no, he's sooo stubborn!). No other symptoms have appeared. Gonna take him to his GP asap, however he hasn't even told this GP that he has MS previously and I doubt he will today - again he's soooo stubborn! gah!

Has anyone else experienced a pain in the shin?
