    RICE... Rest Ice Compression Elevation... massage the tissue upwards in your legs (will help it getting worse in to compartment syndrome...or if you have already got acute compartment syndrome will help. Take NSAIDs too that you can take over the counter like ibuprofen.

    If you do have shin splints, wear proper footwear until better. It's not worth letting it get worse and developing in to worse conditions.
