The best way to heal your shin splints is to simply rest. But that does not mean that you have to give up your physical activities. You can still do low-impact exercises, such as swimming, bicycling, or water running.Also, you should apply ice packs to your shins for no more than 15 minutes at a time, about four times a day for several days. It helps to reduce the swelling if you elevate your shins above your heart at night. If the pain becomes unbearable, you may consider taking pain medications to alleviate your pain, but they do nothing to speed up your recovery.
In the future, you may wish to consider stretching and strengthening the calf muscles can help prevent the injury from returning. Below are links to two stretches I do before every run.
Good luck on your speed recovery.

If you have shin splints, the best thing to do is let them heal and dont work them out too hard while they are healing. If you push too hard, you can hurt them more, and it will take even longer to heal.What were you thinking before you had your best race?
I heard drinking alkaseltzer about 2 hours before you run works for some people!Shin splint are always had to heel quickly. One way to help is to
place a hand towel about 2 ft in length on the floor in front of your feet. With your toes pull the towel up under your feet. Another is just doing some deep massage. The towel works great to help
strengthen the muscles around your shins. Good luck
If you have shin splints, its almost impossible to heal them quickly. first check your shoes to see if they have worn out, that'll help with your problem. take ibeprofen (advil) but dont go crazy with it; before and after practice. then ice before and after practice if possible. it takes some time so be patient.
If your shins are hurting up and down equally, you have shin spints. Ways to combat these are the obvious; rest. But you can also help them by icing them after running ( I would use dixie cups, freeze the water in them and peel them back to make it easier to ice up and down my legs) Other suggestions are to stop road running and just run on the track. Road running is higher impact on your shins. Running in fields is also a good idea (watch out for holes so you don't roll your ankles though!!)
Now, if the pain is in the specific spot and it hurts when you tap on it, you might have a stress fracture. if this is the case you should stop running and see a doctor- either sports medicine or an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in foot and ankle. Stress fractures require casting and rest. Best of luck!
ice, ice, ice, dont overuse them, eliptical, no cement running, it could get worse

Well you probably have "shin splints" and so every night you could put the heating pad on them and rub them up and down. I had that before and that worked plus a friend of mine had it too. I hope it works! Good Luck!--melissa--

well if you shins hurt, then you probably have shin splints and you can't really do anything to help them heel quickly. When you run you can put tape around your shins to help.You probably have shin splints, a very small fracture in your bone due to a lack of muscle in you Achilles or shins. You can still run with them but be sure to stop or slow it way down if they start to hurt. Here are some things to do that will heal them as quickly as possible.
1. Ice the area that hurts for about 10 -15 minutes (it will hurt for about two minutes after you put the ice in then it will start to feel really good). Try to ice at least 2 times a day but be sure to take an hour break between icing. This will help to get the swelling down (the swelling is there even if you can't see it)
2. Stand on your toes then slowly bob up and down on them for 1-2 minutes, then do the same thing but with your toes pointed inward, then outward. This will help strengthen your muscle so it can better support your shins.
3. Place a towel on the ground and scrunch it up with your toes. You can dot his whenever you are sitting down and watching TV or whatever. Another similar method is to roll a film canister or gold ball under the arch or your foot.This also strengthen your muscles.
If none of that seems to help after 2-3 weeks I would suggest seeing an athletic trainer. Good luck!
you could have shin splints like others said or you may just need to stretch it better
