When I took up boxing I got shin splints bad,very bad from skipping and running.i kept at it though and they finally went and when they go they should never come back.
I was the same,jogging was difficult and at times even walking was difficult when at work the next day.i went to the phsyio and the guy was a brute with me,was gonna twat him.
Anyway you can do stretching,ice packs on them,buy proper fitted trainers,run on soft ground etc but I did none of these and it went in time.

Shin splint ca also be caused by not warming up before running. Make sure your warmed up and prepared for the run

I got compartment syndrome in my calves

I did the same when I was serving an ended up with compartment syndrome in my shins and both sides of my claves requiring 3 ops, I'd never say to anyone to run through it ever.
Best thing to do is look at your footwear and how you run ie heal toe, just toes, flat, then look at your gait ie do your feet collapse in (overpronate), center or on the outer edge (underpronate).
I had to do all this with in the last 6 months as I found even just doing circuit work set my shins off after my ops, realised that when I move quicker/bounce/run i underpronate and tended to heal strike. Bought the correct footwear and focused on trying to land toes first so the body naturally acts as a cushion/spring has really helped and now with a good warm up and stretching before/after I can happily say I don't get any problems even after 8+ miles
Best way I found to run on your toes was to run with your body leaning slightly forward, so nice to be able to run again pain free after 4 years on the sick

I used to get them like a motherfucker! Get about half a mile, and here they come! I just bought some decent running trainers, and just battled through it.. After about 2 months, of running 3 miles 4 times a week, it slowly stopped happening! They were a killer, but you just have to carry on.. A gym trainer told me if you go on a treadmill, and go on a slight incline, that it helps a lot..
You also have to give your legs some rest time, if you don't let them rest and recover, you cause damage

Unfortunately I think the best thing is just rest! When I got them it would start after about 3 miles or so and get worst the more I ran. I asked a few people what would help and they said just rest. After just over a month it was fine! If Your worried about loosing fitness just spent the month doing cardio that involves no impact (for example cycling, swimming, punch bag etc.) and it shouldn't be to bad when you return to running.
