Saw a kid break his Tibia and Fibula while playing soccer.
He hobbled off the field like a man
I saw a guy pretend to get kicked and then roll around on the grass crying for 3 minutes.

thought this was going to be one of those "didn't see the trailer hitch" stories.

Found this on Reddit. Not sure how much truth to it as I'm not in the medical field, but sounds impressive.
quote:
The shinbone (the tibia) is typically subcutaneous (directly beneath the skin) in everyone. Now the reason it hurts so much getting kicked, or sometimes even lightly grazed by something on the shinbone is because of the periostal layer. The periost is a layer that covers every bone in your body, and is filled with nociceptors (pain receptors), which are mostly myelinated nerve fibres. Being myelinated means nerves send signals upwards to 20-30m/s to the brain.
Now when you receive a kick to the shinbone, hundredthousand if not millions of nerve fibres send pain signals to your brain, which travels extremely fast.

I see no pretend kick in that clip.

What's really freaky is when you nail your shin hard on something like that and you know it's going to bleed, but it takes about 10 minutes for the blood to start flowing.

But the one last night was probably the worst I've done it.

Yeah yeah yeah.
But seriously, hearing the sound of somebody's shin-bone breaking will freak you out.

The shin and the big toe are some sensitive areas on my body.

I don't have a medical answer for you but your post makes me cringe cause I have been there. I have scars on my shins from 2x4's slamming into my shins when I used to build cabinets.

I can appreciate where you are coming from. I still have dents in my shin bones from my skating days.

Went to some classes with a group of guys that made a living as bouncers in supposedly the worst club in Arizona. These guys would sit around at home or in the gym and roll rebar over their shins to deaden the nerves. Probably while watching Roadhouse

Yeah, alot of kickboxers supposedly try to "deaden" the nerves in their shins by continually kicking bags with them.
frick that.
frick that.

Slightly off topic, but the only time I've ever had shin splints were in middle school running track and likely due to not warming up properly.
I'm about 40 now and play basketball about 1-2/x per week. When that Louisville guard gruesomely fractured his shin a few years ago, I recall a doctor saying that he likely had a small stress fracture that felt like a shin splint and was ignored for a period of months.
I'm starting to have a slight shin splint in my right leg that isn't too painful but I've been feeling for about a month. Once I get warmed up, I can't feel it at all. Probably nothing to worry about but that image of the UL guy isn't something you can easily forget.

As I layed on the sofa last night with an ice pack on it, I thought, "Goddamn, if I ever want to torture someone, I'm gonna tie them up and crack them in the shins with a stick".
