Killer shin splits, please help

[CFH]

I have had shin splint problems for ever. Stretching is key in preventing them. Also, if you still need to do some kind of cardio, I've found the the elliptical machine is fairly easy on the shins.

Yeah and the knees...elliptical machines are the best! I hardly ever do any running any more.

I've had problems with my knees as well. Because of the type of exercises I was doing, I ended up with tendonities in both of them. The elliptical is great though, I use that, the rowing machine, or the treadmill for all my cardio.
