Is it normal they don't take me seriously?

I used to be a hobby runner. Over time, I've worked for a total of more than two hours per workout. This has not been possible for two years.
I suddenly had shin pain.There has never been an accident and I have always had my shoes in a bit before I used them for training. At the beginning (2 months), I still thought that maybe it's a sore muscle or some other injury, which gradually goes away by itself. After another two months of recurrent pain, I went to my family doctor to be referred to a specialist. She told me that she had some ideas, which caused my pain, and that she would forward me to a good orthopedic community doctor's office.
I then went, together with an escort as support, to this doctor's office. I did that several times. I described my pain, when it occurred and how it hurt. Then they fumbled my shins and told me each time that there was nothing, even though I had infernal pain as they applied pressure in the middle of my shins and down. They also did not want to x-ray or arrange a CT. Nothing. I have been sent to the practice over and over again and have heard of almost all of these "experts" (the actual top doctor of this doctor's office, I never got to see) the stupid theories, all of which could be refuted by other doctors. My pain does not stop until now. Whether I run, climb stairs, kneel on the shins or walk normally. Meanwhile, after two years of disappointment and pain, I think that my problem has developed a chronic character.

Is it normal that nobody of the doctors took me seriously? I've had other illnesses and accidents, but never have I been left in this way. What's up with these guys...

    Can you go back to your original doctor, tell her what's happened and ask for another referral somewhere else? It doesn't seem as if you're getting adequate treatment at this place.
