They hurt bad. I really wish they would go away. Though, they did give me a good project to work on! Ice, binding, elastic band just below knee, and tapping the foot always helps me out!

I have what I think is a mild case of shin splints, and I find that applying ice after my runs really helps... I'd be interesting in knowing if I should be doing anything better.

Regarding the inflammation issue. The phrase "all things in moderation" applies. We do need inflammation to bring in the cells to heal damage and digest debris etc, but sometimes (for numerous reasons) the body goes into overdrive with inflammation. At this point, too much inflammation will hinder repair and possibly cause long term detriment such as excessive scar tissue. So my humble opinion is that each case is unique, and only when you have too much of a good thing is inflammation an issue. Hey Mike. Regarding the inflammation issue.
