I researched the subject loads and never came up with a definitive answer, however for me it was my shoes. Basically I went to a good store who had me running up and down the street looking at my style and recommended various shoes. I have never had shin splints since.
Hope this helps, probably not!!
Hope this helps, from one fellow sufferer to another!
Get it checked that it's not compartment syndrome- apparently symptoms are similar. My husband had what he thought was shin splints and was told it was compartment syndrome. Having said that, his treatment was same-rest from running, then slowly building up the mileage on motion control shoes- he's been fine ever since. I'd agree with the others- get an assessment from a good running shop or a podiatrist.
Good luck[:)]
