Answer:

Maybe Shin Splints?

Step-by-step explanation:

A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball.

Shin splints are caused by repeated trauma to the connective muscle tissue surrounding the shinbone. Ignoring this injury may result in a more serious condition such as a stress fracture of the bones

Cartilage and Bone are specialised forms of connective tissue. They are both made up of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. It is the nature of the matrix that defines the properties of these connective tissues. Cartilage is thin, avascular, flexible and resistant to compressive forces.

A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
