For relief now, take a hot bath using 2c. of epsom salts and soak for 30 minutes. This will really help take down the pain. Advil tablets are also good for this, take three times daily.
And best wishes that you get better quickly.

Wrap them up when you play and stay off of hard surfaces, like concrete and go for softer grass. This will help lessen the occurrences of shin splints. For stretching, have a wooden wedge, 45 degrees, and put the wider side to the wall and put your foot on it til you feel all stretched out. Facing the wall.
