Why are shins so sensitive




















And more nerve endings equal more pain signals. And speaking of your brain, the area that feels pain has an especially large amount of space devoted just to your fingers, says William Binegar, M. So when the nerve endings send up pain signals from your fingertip, the pain is perceived as stronger than pain signals from other parts of your body, like your arm.

Your arch, on the other hand, has thinner skin so the nerves underneath are closer to the surface.
