Shin stress fracture?

How many miles on your shoes? 

I'm wearing a brand new pair of running shoes that I was fitted for at a running store. I can tell that they feel tons better than my old shoes and they definitely help.

I had some painful shin splints in the same area and got some great help from my physical therapist.  I was prescribed three stretches that I did for at least five each day the first week to loosen up the muscles and then 1 minute a day in the morning and after workouts.  The three stretches were the Gastroc stretch, soleus stretch, and most importantly for the type of shin splints I had was the toe flexor stretch.  I also got ultrasound treatments, iced daily (from the inside ankle up along medial aspect of my tibia), and took an ibuprofen before and after each workout.  The pain cleared up in about three weeks even though I biked over 500 miles in that period.  I would also suggest as much as it sucks to hear slow down on the jogging when you start back up.  I'm personally planning on just biking, swimming, and doing leg stability exercises for the rest of this year and starting a walk/jog with a very very slow progression in the spring.

this is a great guide to stretching...(I do most of these after every workout)
