Shin splints are no good, I get them whenever I try to run on a track or sidewalk or hard surface like that on a regular basis. The only things I've been told to do is there are certain exercises that you can do to help and obviously icing it.
When I was in high school, the trainers for the soccer team always had me do these things involving rotating my foot/ankle. For example, sitting on the floor, with your legs out in front of you, bring your knee up so it is bent, then rest the calf of your other leg on top of it. They told me to then point my toes and spell the alphabet in the air with them, supposedly this is supposed to help the shin splints, and possibly prevent them.
I'm no trainer, so don't necessarily listen to me haha, but that's what I used to have to do, and it seemed to work reasonably well, I don't know if there are better ones out there though.
