Shin bones or humeruses are too thin to do LL?True?

I've heard that if your bones are too thin,then LL won't be adapted to you.
I dunno why,but I think myself...Maybe nails will hurt bones that are too thin.

Shin bones are also called the tibias.  Lots of people do LL on tibias, including me.

It's true that people with thin tibias might have issues with wide nails thrugh.  A doctor will have to use smaller nails which might not support your weight enough, or ream the bone canal to make it bigger.  Or just do external.
