Re: SHIN SPLINTS!!!!! Painful!!!!

Pretty good advice. Also maybe do stretching exercises. Good running shoes with a good arch are helpful for shin splints. Try running on even sufaces and ground that is soft like a running track. See a Physical Therapist. The pain is telling you to slow down. Definely laying off is the big help. If you need to train to stay in shape do something like swimming which wouldn't agravate the shin splints.
