Last time I had it was fall 2019. I was told by my physio 4 years ago that I have overpronation so I bought special shoe insoles for that but by 2019 they were pretty worn down so I guess they werent working anymore. I went with shin splints then for 5 months until my physio offered me ultrasound on my shins 5 appointments which could help and it did. I had a terrible pain in my big toe joint too that he referred me for xray to check but nothing was broken. I bought new shoe insoles late 2019 I got to check my feet on a machine at a sports shop that measured what type of support I need and then the clerk handed me crazy expensive insoles that I bought then a physio said "these arent good enough for your overpronation" which I could feel also, dumb machine was wrong or the clerk fked me.
Today when I took a short walk I could feel really bad pain in my ankles shooting up my shins and my shins are really sore now. Of course I cant afford new insoles I cant afford good shoes either. Im gonna keep suffering with shin splints it sucks because its too painful I cant go for short walks without stopping resting all the time like an old person.

    Have you tried building your leg muscles up? If you go to the gym and do squats and leg curls and calf workouts it should help

    Sounds like something’s wrong with your stride. Do you lean a little forward when you walk? Gravity will help you without putting excessive strain on your legs, especially when going uphill. Likewise lean back when you go downhill..

        Then you might need orthopedic shoes. Don’t trust a shoe store sales clerk. Go to a real orthopedist and solve this once and for all.
