HELP!!! i have shin problems......? Okay, I am a runner-or I was: I developed horrible shin splints last fall, so I stopped running and let them heal.  This is the fourth time shin splints interrupted my seasons, so I decided to see a doctor.  Now, I have been to three doctors, two physical therapists and still I can't run.  There is pain running along both the posterior and anterior AND fronts (though slightlt off the center) of my shins-but I don't have shin splints any more, I don't have compartment syndrome, I don't have bone fractures, and I have been trying orthdodics.  Oh, and I have extremely strong muscles-both the front and the back-so there isn't any muscle imbalance.  I REALLY want to run again, but it hurts to walk-any suggestions???

Summarized question: What is the treatment for shin problems?
