for the last week or so, i've had pain on the inside of my left shin. like a throbbing when i jump on it or squat to tie my kid's shoes. i sure hope they go away soon. i don't want to have to stop working out but my leg hurts

Shin splints suck for sure, very painful. The only thing you can do for them is rest. Having dealt with them my whole adult life, however, I personally give them one day off if they're really painful and the next few days I just push through them. I find pushing through them allows my shins to build up a little more resistance.
