Hello all,
My name is Ryan. I am here because I have been experiencing chronic lower leg pain in both legs for almost six months now. I developed what my orthopedist said were shin splints back at the end of February as a result of playing indoor volleyball. I was taking some anti-inflammatories at the time and actually rested the problem for THREE whole months with no activity. Then I began to play volleyball once a week again on the beach but I would still hurt after playing. I recently got a bone scan done and it was diagnosed as "tibial stress reaction". I previously had blood work done and there was nothing found, really. I even had an MRI done back in March that came back clean and I had an ultrasound performed for blood clots which also showed nothing.
I have rested for the last month or so, but I still get a lot of pain at rest for no apparent reason. The pain seems to sometimes be worse when I am sitting in one location for a long period of time (like driving a car) versus doing an activity, although activity does seem to persist the problem. My question is, is there any chance this could be diabetes related? I am 32 years old with no other real health concerns except maybe a little bit of high blood pressure.
Thanks all.
