How to get rid of shin splints without any rest?

Difficult/prolonged: Shin splint are an overuse condition. Rest is relative . You can back off by halves until the pain is decreased and couple it with treatment (PT,cushioning running shoes, +- orthotics) Cross training will also keep your edge/conditioning up while rest your lower extremity

Problem: It is difficult, you really need rest. I would try orthotics to support and balance your feet. Use ice on your shins after exercise and stretch
