Evaluation: If these symptoms have lasted for several weeks then i would recommend seeing your doc. Shin splints can progress and turn into stress fractures. Changing your running surface can help along with stretching and physical therapy. Also be sure you have the best foot gear. Go to a specialty running store to be appropriately fitted.
