Unlikely effective: You can try icing and NSAIDS (ibuprofen or naproxen) but this is likely to only provide temporary relief. If you continue with your normal activities without resting, you are likely to make your shin splints worse. You can ask for a referral to a sports medicine doctor who may know how you can minimize your rest time. Professional physical therapy may also help you recover faster.
