I'll have to look for that book Bin, thanks

Lauren, my husband bought a calf brace that also helps the shins and it's been working well for him.  It's a McDavid Level 2 Calf Shin Split Support.  Check their website: www.McDavidUSA.com

This must be the only thing I haven't tried yet out of all the shin splint remedies in the entire world! Definitely looking into it, thanks!
