I had shin splints many times. I thought this was shin splints. but, it went away like it always has, in my left shin. However, my right shin has continued to give a sharp pain that does not feel like a typical shin splint. It shoots across the lower shin, from the front to the inner ankle. I went to a doctor thinking it was a stress fracture. The test / x ray was negative. And, I've taken off 3 weeks before trying to run. No change. Then two more weeks. Still, no change.
Anybody have any suggestions?
