Finally, strengthening the muscles of your lower leg will also help to prevent injury by taking excessive pressure off your shin bone and tissue. Try doing calf raises, 3 sets of 10-15 reps before a workout. Also, sit in a chair and trace the alphabet in the air using your big toe. Do this exercise with each foot.

Don’t hesitate to see your doctor if pain doesn’t decrease after a week or two. Another more serious condition may be to blame.
