How can you get rid of shin splints?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Change it up: Stop high impact activities for at least a week. Ice the shins, take Ibuprofen or aleve (naproxen) and get a shin neoprene sleeve. Go back to the high impact activity slowly and come up with a rational plan to rotate exercises to prevent recurrence
