Now i am just sitting down resting and my either tibia or fibula starts to get a shooting unbareble pain the goes away every other minute this occurs. Why?
Answer:
There are a million reasons this could be happening. The tibia (your shin bone) is subject to bangs and bumps every day, so much so that we hardly notice them at times. The fibula (in behind) while not usually bumped in normal activity still contains connections to tissue such as ligaments, tendons and muscles. All of these are subject to spasm, which can be caused by no other reason than they want to (that is a kind of joke...). If the pain continues, seek a physician's assessment. In the meantime, you can try soaking in a warm bath or applying a hot water bottle to the affected area (if it's isolated). Unless the pain is constant and changes intensity, chances are it's nothing more than a spasm (assuming you have not been doing something during the day which may have injured it...such as jumping on a trampoline or other athletic activity you don't usually do on a regular basis.) As painful as these spasms can be, they are not a problem...well, not a permanent concern at least. Other than reading an x-ray, there is no way of telling if the bone has been injured. A physical exam is required, along with a history, but the x-ray would be needed to confirm or deny bone injury.
Could be shin splints.. Do you run?
if it only happens at rest or just before sleeping it could be restless leg syndrome...if it gets better when you move it around, and only bugs you at rest,that is a sign of it.
