"shin splints " hey, yeah sure. referred pain from L3/4 more likely. What is it that keeps you allowing repeats of methods that don't work , five series of treatments to your legs with no results, you must get very frustrated. I can't give you the name of the physio who will fix your referred pain problem . I would feel like I had ignored your pleas for help however if I allowed you to continue to get inappropriate treatments for a simple low back nerve irritation and went on to have , god forbid , surgery. That would merely add further insullt to your compounded woes.
Find a physio who is willing and able to mobilise L3 and L4 in your low back . The best method is known as Continuous Mobilisation. Applied with skill and persistance , passive movements to these facet joints will release protective responses there that have lead to an inflammatory event (s) of nerve roots . It is the effects then of altered nerve physiology that has created an altered sensation picture which is interpreted as pain . It is common in these cases to also have local redness and perhaps swelling to the painfull region . This presents a quandary for the young players or inexperienced therapist . Untill or unless your lower lumbar spine has been returned to an unprotected mobile state , your medial leg referred pain will persist.
Either find a more experienced physio who will treat your back or convince your current therapist not to follow the course that has been thoroughly and convincingly demonstrated to be ineffective and incorrect.
