Default bilateral leg pain
Hi my name is Jon and I have chronic bilateral leg pain due to severe shin splints and stress fractures while active duty in Army, I've been on all sorts of pain medications for it and multiple tests but the Dr's can't understand why I'm in so much pain. I currently take 30 mg of Long acting Morphine, 15mg in the am and the the rest at bedtime. Any suggestions for the pain?

Is there any skin sensitivity or skin changes along with the pain?
If so it might be RSD/CRPS.

Have you had a MRI to check for possible spinal issues?

Have they sent you for physical therapy or any other pain management?

Default Have You Though About an Injection?
Hi Jon, I've been a chronic pain suffer for 6 years years now and I sympathise with you, it;s a horrible way to be. I have had numerous injections over the years to give me some relief and have had great results in the past. Your legs have obviously been through an awefull trama and shin splints take time to heal. It may be worth talking to your doctor about. I sincerely hope all goes well for you. Best of luck Leanne
