Left shin hurt pretty good. About 4" up from the foot, just left of center. What the heck is this? Doesn't hurt to push on it, just when I flex it.

Man, what a bummer. I'm not a doctor (not medical, at any rate), but the symptoms sound like one of two possibilities: 1) Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (commonly called shin splints), or 2) a Tibial Stress Fracture. The fact that it's not tender to the touch is a bit confounding....so it may not be either (hopefully).

Here's a quick reference that might help: http://www.summitmedicalgroup.com/library/sports_health/shin_pain/

Found this more extensive reference (probably too much information): http://www.podiatrytoday.com/article/5031

Good luck.
