Fibula-- someone answered tibia on a previous question and that answer is incorrect
All the bones in the human leg are weight bearing except the fibula.
The fibula does not bear weight, but several muscles originate from it. The fibula, is the thinner bone in the lower leg, not made for weight bearing, however the tibia is made for weight bearing, which is the larger bone in the lower leg.
No, the shin section of the leg does not have cartilage. The shin is made up of the tibia bone, which is a large, weight-bearing bone in the lower leg. Cartilage is not present in the shin bone itself.
The think lateral leg bone is the fibula. It is a non-weight bearing bone, but forms the lateral portion of your ankle joint.
The leg consists of two bones: the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone). The fibula is also part of the leg, but it is not considered a weight-bearing bone.

tibia
The femur, the upper leg bone.
The weight-bearing bone of the leg is the tibia, also known as the shinbone. It is located on the inner side of the leg and supports much of the body's weight during standing and walking.
No, the shin section of the leg does not have cartilage. The shin is made up of the tibia bone, which is a large, weight-bearing bone in the lower leg. Cartilage is not present in the shin bone itself.

A number of things - A broken bone in the leg, torn muscles/tendons, broken ankel or broken bones in the foot. Go and see your doctor because this sounds bad.
