Shin pain after drinking alcohol?

Could be, but seems coincidental to me. How much did you drink? If a lot, maybe you don’t remember hitting your shin on something.

Don’t drink that often… but I consume a moderate amount of alcohol. I definitely don’t hit them on anything because every time I wake up there’s pain up and down both of my shins.

Ah, I see. Knowing that it’s both your shins and it’s every time you have alcohol, seems like it could be a herx from it. I know when I have red wine or tonic water in a gin and tonic, I usually feel better and not worse.

i used to get this when i was younger

after a night on the town and plenty to drink

but that also involved a lot of waking around - often walking home - in dress shoes, which had hard soles

so in the end i think it was more from the walking in hard shoes than the alcohol - but the two were conflated because the only time i did much walking in hard shoes is when i went out on the town (could have been a bit of both).

often its hard to pick things apart because - while we focus on one thing we are suspicious of - we forget we actually did something else at the same time.

i later got into running - and had shin splints no matter what shoes i wore - so i think i just had a tendency towards this.
