Replying to spin splints

alright i've got some serious shin splints, they were hurtin pretty bad the other day, and it had been about five days since i had last skied. i could live with it most the time, but when i do certain things it makes it hurt bad enough that it almost isn't worth it to ski, and that's pretty damn painful. the question i have for you guys, is if anyone else has had this and what they have had success with to help their situation, or anything from anyone who has an idea. thanks in advance for the help. later.
