Can be due to osteoporosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the mid shin with no detectable fracture can be due to osteoporosis or shin splints. The pain can be persistent in shin splints if no proper rest is given for healing.
To detect osteoporosis, it is best to get a bone mineral density ( BMD) test done. Continue taking mild pain killers. You can do a hot compress in the area for relief. Do take a diet rich in calcium and magnesium for early relief.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Shin splints pain can be persistent if adequate rest is not provided for proper healing. Since you are a nurse and you need to stand a lot the pain of shin splints can persist for 16 weeks or more.
You can take Advil and excedrin every 6 hourly after meals. If you do not have gastritis or ulcer related problems then you can take it for 6-8 weeks.
Hope my answer is helpful.
