...exactly what it is. What to do? Have had leg pain for almost 2 years now the pain comes from a point at the upper front of my legs where I develop a bump thats painful to touch during/after training. Been treated the last year taken a lot of breaks, followed my docs advices
Pain is worst at the left leg,gets worse while running, better while resting. Only mild pain when I touch the painful area after some weeks/months rest, but even I start slowly and follow my doctors training program, the pain starts to develop and gets worse and worse after some weeks, until it’s difficult to run, and it hurts touching the area. The more I train the larger the area of pain gets (several centimetres above and below the most painful area). It feels like my bone hits my shin each time my foots hit the ground and the pain can also be described as someone just have kicked me in the legs
Doc believes its shin splints (he seem unsure what kind of) and the last option is surgery. Should I consider surgery or might I have another injury?
tried strengthening and stretching exercises , got shoes especially made for my foots, use leg warmer/leg wrap.
Any other treatment methods I should try before considering surgery? Isn't it a bit risky to perform a surgery when the doctor doesn't seem to know exactly what's causing the pain? Any ideas of what's causing the pain, more specific than shin splints?

MRI is taken, everything was normal, except from something that was a bit thick (can't remember what, think it was something that lays over the bone)
