Replying to shin splints

ok so lately when i've been skiing when im jumping off rails and stuff my shins have been killing me and it's recently gotten worse so that i cant even run up stairs barely cause my shins hurt. some people i've talked to say that it's shin splints and some people say i've just strained a muscle. it's on the outside edges/sides of both of my shins. are there any stretches i can do to get rid or this or leg workouts or do i just need to take a week off and let them heal cause ive skied every day for like 25 days in a row. help please.
