I have burning shin pain as well as the medial side of the knee. That’s nerve pain. It’s apparently coming from my back (as most does). So I have a plan in place with a chiropractor. Hopefully he helps. He explained that’s where the sciatica branches off. And I am told that mri does not always show small nerves.

I’ve had ankle and shin pain in both legs for three years. Burns at night. I only wear NewBalance shoes. Anything else will cause horrible nighttime pain. I been to 4 podiatrists, 2 sports med specialists, 3 orthopedists…. I found a podiatrist who finally listened…. He said my pain seems to be caused by the inflamed band that goes across the upper ankle and holds the shin ligaments in place.
He taped one foot for a week to see if I noticed a difference. Wow, yes. Next week I will return, and he will give me an injection, and we’ll go from there.
I’m also on 300 mg of gabapentin per night, that seems to temper the RLS somewhat. Definitely a work in progress.
