Tibia Rod Removal Shin Splints

[Kyle52]

Hello, Im 17 years old, almost 18 and when i was 14 i had broken my tibia and fibula in a football game and gotten a titanium rod placed  in my tibia. i left it in following the doctors advice and ever since then i have had really bad leg pain and shin splints whenever i would run, sometimes even walk. i play running back and im starting to limp when i sprint and its making me quite slow. the pain is bad. If i were to get the rod removed would this pain most likely go away?

Did you ever have the rod removed? Daughter in surgery now having it installed. 3/21/14

I had a rod put in my tibia after a tib/fib fracture just over a year ago.  I still have pain almost constantly. (except at rest)  I have tried many things, but I didn't plan on another, the third, surgery to remove the rod.  I will gladly do it, however, if the answer to your question is yes!
