Ok so I have had shin pain for the last 6 years. I went to four doctors and to physical therapy twice. I have had X- rays, bone scans, and MRI's done and no one can figure it out. The last doc said he could not figure out what was wrong until he opened me up or try drilling holes in my shin. But I wasn't about to let that happen until I was confident there wsa absolutely nothing else I could do so I can start running again. It's a throbbing pain in the inner part of my left leg (shin) right above where my calve starts ( I have high calves). It feels like it is right under the actual shin bone itself near the edge of the bone. I have done incredible amounts of ice, rest ( I don't) run anymore, elevation, air cast, electode therapy, massage, orthotics, chiropractor, enormous amounts of pain relievers, bike, elliptical, water running, every kind of stretching available for hours at a time, and nothing has worked.
I can still walk around fine but it's just nagging me all the time. It all started the 6 months after I ran a marathon. I was on the relay team and all I had built up to was 13 miles. We had lost 2 guys the day before the race so I volunteered to run the whole thing and just gut it out. STUPID I know. The race was mostly hills also so going down hill while I was tired was alot of over stretching I know. Well when I started to run again I figured I could start with the mileage I always did in the past. When the pain started I kept pushing through as I did before but it never went away. 6 years later I am still not healed. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
