@sekytwo I have had stress fractures for two soccer seasons. If it gets unbearable I would recommend going to an orthopedic doctor, if your shins hurt at all when you press on them, when your not running or anything and it hurts, I would go to a doctor. Dont go to a family doctor they do nothing! Orthopedic doctor!

If he didn't say that he is doctor, we would think that he is an engineer or a chef! Doc!

how long does he mean by long term?:/ I've had this pain in my shin for about 3 and a half years and it kills if I don't have it strapped up; I'm only 13 trying to find something or someone for advise or recommendations; I've been to physiotherapy about it; and she can't find the problem yet; can anyone help? :/
