Lay on your stomach on a bed or couch and have someone take a rolling pin (like for flattening out dough) and massage your calves with it for a couple minutes. Then, massage your shins right where it hurts for a few minutes. After that, ice your shins for 20 minutes. Do this after every run. Good luck!!

Running crippled probably ain't too good of a plan either. YOu need to stop whatever is causing your problem and see a doctor if it's serious.
Shin splints are caused by muscle imbalance. Calf strong, shin weak. The way to correct this is to strengthen the muscles at the front of the legs. Lie face down in bed with your toes hanging over the edge. Pull your toes upward against the resistance of the mattress. Try to work up to 3 or 4 sets of 5 – 10 reps each. Good Luck
