Pretty sure I have shin splints. Never have before, but I pushed it pretty hard yesterday. How do I make it stop freaking hurting?!

stretch prior and ice your shins after you work out....0

I find myself yelling loudly every time i have them.
Otherwise a rest day and ice will do.0 -
Compression socks? Frozen peas, 20 minutes on, 20 off. Get better running shoes? If I ever get shin splints, it's usually because my running shoes need to be replaced. Feel better soon!0

I was going to say Jack but Gin or Brandy will work too.
Although then you may end up with Shplin Shints!0 -
I had problems with persistent shin splints until I switched to Vibram Five Fingers 3 years ago. I haven't had a problem since.0

I have Nikes, with amazing insoles, I have NEVER gotten them before... It's just so random.0 -
Stretch before and after a workout. Apply ice after a workout. Change your shoes..0

Don't be silly! You just drink it. Unfortunately, you'll have to go to England to get it, it's illegal here (damn PETA).0 -
Barefoot/minimalist shoes. You're probably striking in your heels when you should be striking on the balls of your feet. They'll correct the problem almost instantly.0

Dealt with this problem a while back...what helped me was getting a foam roller. Do a search on youtube for how to use them. Stretching is key. One stretch for me that helped a LOT was kneeling ON the foam roller...toes pointed straight and legs folded underneath me...allowed me to stretch a little more than if I were sitting flat on the floor. Message me if that doesn't make sense. Ice is also supposed to help...it did for me a little...the stretching was the key.0

Stretch, stretch, stretch, more stretch. Before a workout, after a workout, when you get up, when you go to bed, throughout the day. And, ice is a miracle drug. Apply ice within 20 minutes of the workout. Or frozen peas. You get the idea. And, I second the running shoes. I had $40 shoes that I thought were decent. Got some Nike Dual Fusions and it made all the difference in the world. Price of shoes doesn't matter - a good fit does. Also, for what it's worth, the running store advised me, and I have checked this with other runners - Have 2 pairs of shoes, and alternate days. You'll get nearly 100% more wear out of them. Reason for this is that if you give the materials in your shoes a chance to totally dry out (takes 24-48 hours), then the materials will then last longer.0

I've suffered shin splints plenty of times in the past. They're horrible to train on once you've got them.
Over the years I've worked out that when I start a running regime, i tend to go full throttle staight away. So now i try to start out with shorter strides until my legs get accustomed. This seems to have worked for me.0 -
needless to say, wearing heels today was not a good idea0
