I am 23 years old male. I am having shin splints from past 1 month. I went to a orthopedist. He did x-rays of my legs and he said everything is fine and gave me pain killers. I did every stretching exercises he told me to do but my shin splints are not healing as I am taking full rest now a days but I am having my Indian Army physical test after two months. Thanks in advance.

You should give rest to you legs for ate at-least two-three weeks, then you should start training gradually increasing distance. You can also apply Medicrepe bandages to both calf while you are walking/running to expedite healing.
