You have either periostitis mixed in with some knee arthritis. Either way, take advil, 3 tablets with each meal for 2 weeks. If you're not better then go back to the Orthopaedic surgeon. Don"t take advil if you are on blood thinners. Hope it Helps!
With negative CT and MRI scans of your shins, the pain has to be coming
from somewhere else. The most likely sources include your knee, spine or
hip.
