Need some help!

I feel like I’m actually losing my mind here. It’s been four weeks since I’ve been able to train properly, and the restlessness is just setting in. I went in for an ultrasound recently—the doctor checked out my muscles, knee, tendons, the whole nine yards—and everything looks absolutely perfect. He even made a point to mention that my muscle definition looks great 😳 😁 . Seriously, there are no red flags at all; everything is technically fine.
But here’s the thing: I’m still walking around with this awful pain in my shin.
Then I went to get my spine imaged, and again, everything is pristine 🙄 . According to the report, there isn't a single trace of trauma; everything looks exactly as it should. Yet, I’m still limping through my day. Every morning, I can’t even put weight on my right leg for about ten minutes before it starts working properly. I am honestly at a loss for what to do next. I have a trip to Miami planned in about ten or twelve days, and I’m really hoping to start some light workouts while I'm there. If the beach air and the change of scenery don't help, I truly won't know what else to try. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? How did you finally manage to shake the pain? 🙄

Good grief, I’m on my 31st reading attempt here.

Seriously, does anyone out there have even a single bit of advice? 🙄

Look, I think you’re asking for advice in all the wrong places
The smartest move would be to have an orthopedic surgeon give you a proper, old-school physical exam first. They need to see what we're actually dealing with before deciding which scans are necessary. You aren't going to get any intelligent guidance this way

Thanks so much, I think I’ll go ahead and schedule another follow-up with my orthopedic surgeon.

If an orthopedist can't find the issue, you might want to give a chiropractor a shot... 🤔

Did you maybe put more weight on one side than the other? After my foot surgery, I was super careful about how I walked—basically babying one leg... and then I ended up limping for three whole months because my muscles just totally gave out

Just found out

it turns out there’s some nerve damage
