  0 0 Shin splints are easier to prevent than to get rid of. Make sure you have good running shoes and that you're doing a thorough warm up. Sometimes you'll get them anyway, which you know, sucks. To get rid of them quicker, try wrapping an ace bandage around your lower leg, going up at an angle and down at the opposite angle so it sort of criss crosses. You'll also want to heat and massage your shins, especially before you go to bed. new york state of mind answered in Aches, Pains & Illness about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by staygolden… 0 0 Tight bandage wrapping staygolden commented about 1 year ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Ice, rest, and orthotics. I ran track and cross-country in high school, and had shin splints for the first two years. I iced my shins after every run, and sometimes I had to take time off from running. After awhile I got fitted for orthotics, which seemed to solve the problem. The shin splints never came back.

  0 0 Rest is vital for treating shin splints. While you are recovering, don't do activities that cause pain. You can resume training gradually once your shins are no longer painful. Ensure that your trainers give enough support and cushioning and haven't become worn down through wear. If you continue to suffer from painful shin splints make an appointment with your Podiatrist as you may require orthotics insoles.

  0 0 Ice and rest! Do you know what caused it? It may be time to invest in new running shoes or do some research on running form. I was really injury prone when I started running (shins splints, painful knees, plantar fasciitis, numb hands, etc etc etc)- but once I changed my running form and did a proper shoe fitting all of my issues cleared up and I just did a hilly half marathon without any pain.
