I had the Tibial nail surgery done over a year ago… I started physical therapy and was back jogging after 6 weeks. Then at week 8 … I had ankle surgery. Since then I have bad pain in the side of my shin and I’ve had a multiple MRI’s, x rays, and everything checked out. I had the screws removed and it didn’t help the pain at all. I am thinking about getting the compartment syndrome surgery because I am on the threshold for having that. I am also thinking about removing the rod but I don’t think that is the problem necessarily since the pain began after the ankle surgery and the pain is on the inside of shin. I am a women college D1 basketball player and had to stop playing because my pain hasn’t been figured out. If anyone has experienced any pain on the inside of their shin and has any suggestions or tips … I would greatly appreciate it!
