thats about all you can do.. chances are you aren't staying off of your feet enough. and you cannot run at all period. if you are worried go to a doctor and they will prob. refer you to a physical therapist who can help you with stretches

I've had them before and I totally feel your pain. If you're icing, resting, and stretching, there's not much else you can do. It takes awhile for them to go away. There is one more thing that may help. If they aren't new already, get new shoes. Running in old shoes can sometimes be the cause of shinsplints and getting new shoes is sometimes the solution. Good luck!

well... good news... ok...there is none... the bad news is that it's gonna take a hell of a lot longer than a week... it took me about 6 weeks to compleatly get rid of it... see, the name doesn't really discribe what's actually happening... the muscle tissue is actually tearing away from your bone... but thank god it is a very small tear and it tears really slowly... what i did to get rid of it was ice it of course and then use a heating pad after to relax the muscles... you can also soak your legs in REALLY cold water for 15 minutes... don't run for at least 2 weeks strait... and i don't know if you've done this strech or not but it's where you put your foot vertically against the wall and bend your leg while the opposite leg strait... don't push against the wall to hard...very gently...and i don't know if you play sports or what you play, or what your coach is like(how much they make you run)... but once it gets better icy-hot helps A LOT... and right b4 and after you get done with working out you should always ice it...even if you think it's all better(for about 2 weeks after it seems to be better)... hope i helped... and i hope it goes away faster than mine did
