I have a book here called "Run for Life - the real woman's guide to running" (a friend left it for me). I would be happy to post (mail?) it to you if you donate the postage to TFP (since I'm not a woman I don't really know what to do with it...)
She basically offers RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation), followed by anti-inflammatory drugs, arnica, and going to see an expert.
My friend had bad shin splints and he got given a sort of stretchy rubber sheet and had to do something like drawing the alphabet with his toes, while holding the rubber sheet over his feet. Meh.
