shin splint??

[fullor30]

This is the time of year when everyone seems to break down, and I've never had to get off a game due to injury or illness............but, I've developed what I think is a shin splint and have switched shoes. Very painful and I'm limping. State tournament starts next week and thankfully, a few dates here have been cancelled to rest up for tourney games.

The pain is (no, not there) on the outside of my shin, lower near ankle. Any recommendations? Doe I tape it? Ice? Heat? Someone suggested a stretching exercise which I can't remember. Anyone? Heath Ledger's medicine chest?
