Let me help: Icing the shin to reduce pain and swelling. Do it for 20-30 minutes every three to four hours for two to three days, or until the pain is gone. Ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin, will help with pain and swelling. However, arch supports for your shoes. May help with flat feet. Range of motion exercises for the lower extremity.Neoprene sleeve to support and warm the leg. Thank you.
