Ice worked for my shin splints. Wrapping them with ace bandages so they have some support might help too.
GL!

My massage theriapist told me a good way to help with swelling was to get 2 buckets of water, one warm and one cool, then switch your legs on and off from hot to cool and it would help. I have not tried this but it seems like it would work. Also just try to stretch your legs or prop them on a pillow :) Feel better!

talk to your doctor....that sounds more serious than basic swelling etc. I never got shin splints but i did get cramped calves and eating bananas works well for that(potassium)
