I had shin splints in the spring, but they went away from icing and less intense workouts. But they've been back for a few weeks, and they don't seem to get any better! Can my knees be affected by my shins somehow? Because now they're starting to hurt a little bit too! What else can I do besides icing and stretching for my shins?

The way to correct Shin splints 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 San Antonio Marathon, 1988

Really the only thing you can do for shin splints is to rest them for as long as it takes for the pain to go completely away, then rest them a little more. To keep them from coming back you will need to reduce the impact of whatever you are doing to cause them. Shin splints are tiny fractures in your shins. I know they hurt something terrible, but if you just let them go they will only get worse.
Good luck!

dont ice too much - you contract the fascial envelope round the muscle and that worsens the problem; follow the ice with warm water compress; take some prednisolone at declingin dose for a few days and massage constantly

Check your shoes and the way you plant your feet.
You need good shoes and make sure your feet are pointed straight ahead when you run.
Stretching, ice and massage will help your shins.
Try running on softer surfaces, like grass or dirt.
