Answers:
1!. Ice the shins once a day!. Leave ice on for 20 minutes, off for 40, repeating this pattern 3 times in a row!.

2!. Massage the painful area as often as desired!. This can reduce swelling!.

3!. Try taking nonprescription anti-inflammatory medication, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, which often helps alleviate minor pain and discomfort!.

4!. Place an 1/8-inch thick piece of nylon beneath the insole of your shoe, thus raising the heel, for anterior pain!.

5!. Rest!.

6!. If you are going to continue to exercise, you can wrap it with an ace bandage really tight to keep your tendons from flopping around!. It feels better, trust me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do besides a heating pad and massages!. You could try some stretching of the calve muscles, it should help!. Try wearing good supportive shoes!. They should feel better in a few days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not much you can do, just have an icebath on the areaWww@Answer-Health@Com
