shin splints is where the lining of the muscle at the front of your lower leg splits ( i forget then name and i should know it as i am a sport student) the muscl then attaches itself to the bone. This can be very painful and most doactors say there is no cure but sports scientists say that if u massage ice into the affected area to lessen the swellin and then kneel on the floor with your bum on your heels. it stretches the muscle and encourages it to detatch from the bone and then the healing of the lining can begin.
