Do not use heat to relieve the pain as that will only ease it for a small amount of time and then the pain will gradually get worse.
The best thing is a ice pack on the area that hurts every 3 hours for 10 mins or so and stop doing the exercise that gives you the pain. Only do low impact exercise for 2-3 weeks then gradually add in small amounts of running etc
I suffered for years with them and that's the only thing I found to work. |

You need to rest and keep your feet raised. The pain might ease in time. You need to stretch more before running and invest in better supporting running shoes. |

"Thank you people will follow the advice. Were do you get running shoes to fit exactly to your feet tho. And do the prices vary. "
Go to a proper running shop that has a treadmill and does gait analysis.
They'll video your running motion and style, and advise you on the correct style and fit of shoe for you 
In the meantime RICE
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

Try Run and Become or Moti in Cardiff
I don't know of any other in the area
But avoid Sports Direct at all costs unless you know what shoe you need |

Stretching pre-exercise does nothing. It's not proven to prevent injuries. A slow build up in intensity of your exercise is the best thing to increase the extensibility of your soft tissues.
Have you actually had it diagnosed as shin splints by a health professional? Cos it might not be and you might not be getting the correct advice off the people in this thread. |

Ouch!!
Proper running shoes with support, and cushioning.
If you are prone to them there's not a lot you can do... Bar rest in between... I suffered them always for years and just put up with it.  I have legs like a footie player too... Yes this is the mrs lol. Rest stretch, hot bath.  |
