Oo i can help you...ok so ice will rid the pain simply rub an ice cube up and down the front/inside of your leg where it hurts which will contract the muscle

to remedy shin splints you should stretch more try the following...

while sitting on a chair/couch w/e extend you legs out straight and flex your foot towards your body and hold it as long as you possibly can, this will help stretch/strengthen your shins. when you release give a min in between and do it in the opposite direction.

stand up against the wall facing it and push one foot up against the wall (pretty much the previous one except your standing and using a wall lol) you should feel it mostly on your calf and a little above your ankle.

Also it could indicate your shoes are worn out or they dont support your arches correctly. If thats not the case run more often in grass or on asphalt. Your feet take about x3 your weight everytime it lands so running on a hard surface such as concrete (which has no 'give' in it) can also cause shin splints.

I experience this every track season b/c i run the hurdles on asphalt (schools to poor for a track lol) so they take a beating.

Hope this helps so you can keep running
