Killer shin splits, please help

[Gonzo13]

Once I was reading a magazine that sold a device that helped with shin splints, called, Dard (try google) I couldn't remember the name back then. I looked all around my local sporting goods stores and could not locate one, nor did anyone know what I was talking about.

So one evening at the gym, I thought I would place a bench in front of a low pulley weight stack. I would sit with my right leg laying on the bench, with my right ankle just hanging over the far end of the bench, I placed my foot (top of my foot, around the ball) inside the handle, with my toes pointing straight away from me. Then I would try to point my toes towards me, like I was doing a bicep curl, I would do a few reps, then alternate to my other side. Speaking for myself, this worked great, and I've had little to no problems since I've done this. Again, I'm speaking for myself. Excuse me if I didn't describe a clear picture of the above, I hope I wasn't too confusing. Dards are expensive, so I found a link on how to make a homemade one. Here's the link just in case anyone is interested.
