<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I'm in the Army National Guard, and when I went to basic training I got shin splints really bad. We didn't run that much after I left basic, but I have found that I was never able to run more than 3 times a week- that was my max, or I would be hobbling along for awhile after. I've dealt with that for over a year now, not being able to run more than 3 times a week- but now I'm really trying to kick up my training to cut my run time. I've done some research online about shin splints, and I found an article that told me that my tendons weren't strong enough to be running and gave a list of exercises to do weekly. I did them, and they felt a little better after a few weeks, but then I was right back to where I was. I've tried to change running style by striding out more, I've changed my shoes, I stretch before and after, and take 3, 200mg ibuprofen before a run if I remember (eases pain, not eliminates it) I'm starting to think I may have actually injured my shins at basic training because I can't even balance myself on my toes without my shin bones screaming in pain.
<bot>: I'm training a lot and have had shin splints in the past. changed running style, shoes, and stretch before and after runs. Nothing helps. Time to see a Dr?
