I get them really bad too. What I do is walk on my heels when you walk around the field and such. Then when you get home ice it for 20 mins then wrap a hot washcloth over it and then rub your legs where it hurts. It really helps. And you should also go to the store and get this lotion called arnica. It helps to relax your muscles, I love the stuff and its natural and made out of herbs so it doesnt have harsh chemicals in it.Health Question & Answer
The first thing that you want to do is stop running on hard surfaces. Shin splints are a repetitive-stress type injury due to the constant banging of your legs on concrete when you run. Another way of treating them is to stretch thoroughly before and after you run or play any sport. There is no cure, you just have to be responsible and manage them.Health Question & Answer
