Wrapping has been done, but I felt it didnt do anything for me.

First of all dont run on concrete.
Second get a GOOD pair of insoles for your shoes.
Third chill out with the running for a bit, build up slowly.
And finally stretch, a lot as munchen said.

It's the repetative pounding you recieve that causes the splints, your tendons arent used to it and they're what gets damaged. Running on concrete and without the proper cushin amplify this greatly, and they just break down.
