Shin splints acting up again

Can someone please give me some insight here? Back in December, I messed myself up and had to go get an MRI, and the doc told me straight up that I needed to stay off it, but since I’ve never been one to really take care of myself, I can still feel the injury lingering. I went back to see the specialist this summer and they gave me the exact same advice, but honestly, I’ve been laying low and barely moving for a month now, and yet even when I try to walk, I can still feel that damn pain

And why are you surprised?😕 😠 The guy gave you straightforward advice for what was likely a very good reason—he's a doctor, after all, he knows his stuff—but you just didn't listen to him. Go back, get a proper follow-up, and let a professional figure out your treatment plan.
Oh, Kevin Brooks11...🙂
