Suggest Remedy For Shin Splints

Hello, I am a 33 year old mom of three. For the past one and a half months my right leg has hurt. It started with what I though might be shin splints, so I decided to stop any activity that I was doing (which wasn t much). The pain is now in my calf and foot. I went to urgent care about 3 weeks ago and they did an ultra sound for blood clot (negative) and an Xray (negative). It is still very painful, keeps me up at night (have tried heat, ice, advil, haven t done any activity in about 1 and a half months). I am going to see a vacular specialist today and I m not sure what to expect. Please help.

Hi,

Such type of pain usually occurs in vitamin-D deficiency associated osteopenia. You need to get calcium and vitamin-D supplementation as far as blood clots in leg veins is considered,you need to get an venous Doppler done to rule out the same.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
