Hi everyone, I had stress reactions in both tibia that healed according to MRI, but for some reason I still have shin splints which are pretty persistent. MRI showed slight increase in signal in the muscle but ultimately no findings. I am supposed to return to my waitressing job in a week and half and really want to make sure I'm good. All the doctors I saw said I'm fine, nothing to worry about. Which is hard because I know something is still going on. When I press on the bone there are tender areas. I tried to get tested for compartment syndrome, no findings. PT is helping slightly but nothing significant as of yet. I have been resting for a little over 4 weeks now. I have not run in a quite a while and don't plan on it soon, because the job is my main concern right now.

I use my Nike Free Runs for waitressing, since they are the only shoes that give me enough support and don't cause foot pain. Also I am 23 and female if any relevance. Thank you for any insight. :)
