Weird source of shin pain Random fun shin pain fact, acquired from the “Lice” episode of one of my favourite podcasts, Caustic Soda (“science, horrible news, and humour”): Bartonella quintana (or trench fever, or five-day fever), is a disease carried by body lice that causes, weirdly, hyperaesthesia of the shins — that is, generally heightened shin sensation, though mostly just heightened pain. However, this is unlikely to cause any diagnostic confusion for shin splints patients, since trench fever also causes a nasty fever and many other unpleasant symptoms, like fierce headaches and eyeball pain. Nevertheless, this is perfect sidebar fodder for my shin pain tutorial. ~ Paul Ingraham, SaveYourself.ca The Caustic Sode Episode: causticsodapodcast/2014/02/09/lice/ This item on SaveYourself.ca: saveyourself.ca/microblog/hyperaesthesia-of-the-shins.html The Wikipedia page on trench fever: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartonella_quintana
