JohnJ Nov 2006 10:43pm, 2 Nov 2006 0 posts	Quote Pin JohnJ If it's shin splints then you need to be iceing daily S. A good stretch for the area is to stand with your toes on the edge of a step and let your weight stretch your calfs. Basically it's rest and ice for shin splints, and when they feel better try and work on strengthening the muscles around the shin area. Something as simple as sitting on the sofa and raising your foot up and down(hingeing at the ankle) will do the trick. Then when you start running again try and stay off concrete run on verges or trails, and whack the ice on as soon as you get back home even if they don't hurt. And finally go to a proper running shop and get fitted for your running shoes.
