Reply from Michelle <3 - 05/19/05 - IP#: 206.148.117.xxx Stretch your calves EVERYDAY! Shin splints are caused by tiny fractures in the bones in your shins which are supported by your calf muslces. When they're tight, they aren't able to do their jobs so must stretch them everyday and ice your shins! good luck! <3
