Shin Splints?

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has any good advice to help prevent or stop shin splints.
My selection is in 1 or 2 weeks and I really need for them to stay away while I do my 1.5 mile run.

If you don't want shin splints to go on your medical then do not see your doctor, instead go to see a sports physio. In the mean time try raping an ice pack in a towel and put it on each leg for 10-15 Min's. Do not spray deep heat on your shin splints . Make sure you don't do any fitness till your shin splints have gone. When you don't have shin splints any more, ease yourself back in to training. If they start up again make sure you rest and treat them. You can buy insoles which may help the problem for a small cost, however if you have custom insoles made then be prepared to pay a much higher price.
