Shin Splints?


I bought something new yesterday to help with some minor shin pain that has been creeping up on the right side. It's called 'Shin Ice' and looks something like the picture to the left. It is basically a neoprene sleeve with an icepack that runs along where the shin should go. I am hoping that it starts to help! I have been trying out the RICE method for injuries:
R-rest
I-ice
C-compression
E-elevation
I really hope that is helps! Shin splints can be treated and it is possible to keep training with them, as long as they don't develop into something worse. So far, so good!
