I am wondering if there is anything that I should be doing to prevent this from happening again, I know that to heal them all I really have to do is rest.

I had to have dixie cups of ice always ready to ice my shins down after running or basketball. in the end I had to really just rest for long periods or just deal with the pain, which at times was terrible/unbearable.

Are you Serious???? Damn, I was really hoping that there was something that I could do to try to lessen the pain, other than ice since I play ball at lunch during the day and don't have ice on hand

I think that I got shin splints in my right leg. I felt it after playing a especially hard and long game of basketball the other day.

I am wondering if there is anything that I should be doing to prevent this from happening again, I know that to heal them all I really have to do is rest.
