Why don't my shin splints seem to be healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xrays: Sometimes shin splints may get worse if you are not allowing them to heal, by changing your exercise regimen. It is also possible that the problem has progressed to actual stress fractures. This would require at least an xray.
