You must ice the shins down. Pack in ice until the pain of the cold diminishes. Remove the ice until normal feeling returns, and repeat. Do this once or twice a day until the pain of the shin splints is gone. You will find that ice can do miracles.
Shin splints result from the pointing of the toe under weight, as in running, or jumping, as soft tissue behind the shin separates from bone. Swelling results, and actually causes further damage. Ice stops the swelling, and once the ice is removed, allows healing to begin.
If possible, minimize or halt the activity that is causing the injury.
Icing works best when applied immediately, or as soon as possible after the injury is incurred.
Never apply heat, until all your shin pain and swelling has passed. Only then will heat facilitate healing.

Give your shin splints immediate rest and applied ice to get rid of them. For 48-72 hours after you first get shin splints, you should rest your legs as much as possible, and apply ice or a cool compress to the injured muscles when you're not moving. Rest is a relative term here: if your shin splints are absolutely debilitating, then limit your movement as much as possible and consider seeing a doctor for a diagnosis (see bottom paragraph for other possible lower leg injuries). If your shin splints are mild, limit your running or walking to a gentle speed on soft surfaces.Use heat and massage to continue getting rid of shin splints.
