U haf 2 do different: What do you do to cause the shin splints? You may need to stop for a while than gradually return, walking with a normal gait and running in the pool with water to your shoulder level before running on ground again. Has your gait been evaluated for things that can be changed. Have you tried taping your arches or wearing orthotics. Calf stretching and quad sets before running, ice after helps.

Rest, ice: If you actually have shinsplints, they can be treated. Since they are related to overuse activity, a combination of rest, ice and nsaids can be helpful. Sometimes evaluation of running shoes and gait can also be helpful to find a cause and prevent recurrence.
