After doing powerlifting everyday, i have pain under my knee in the back side. After a month i still feel a little of pain and my trainer referred to it as shin splints. Any advice?

Dr. Ziad Tannous Orthopedic Surgery
shin splints usually occur in the whole leg and are sensed immediately after an over strenuous exercise and usually heal with rest , ice , anti inflammatories , change of shoes , foot arch support or workout surface . pain in the back area under the knee can be due to gastocnemius inflammation / rupture ( insertion of your calf muscles !) specially since the pain is persistant after one month of the injury .. MRI might be needed
