What can be done for shin splints/mtss after its presence for a year?

It could be: Shoes that are non-supportive, worn out or not proper for the activity you are performing could certainly cause this. Biomechanical causes may also be responsible. If you proper shoe wear does not solve problem, have it checked out.

Revisit: Mtss or shin splints that persist should be further worked up for exertional compartment syndrome or frank stress fracture. These conditions have a surgical option if conservative measures fail.
