Have you tried Zyflamend and /or Pro Trauma for the shin splints? I've used both for a deep calf muscle pull and they helped tremendously. And also Cool Hemp Muscle Rub.
Great naturopathic products. Zyflamend and Pro Trauma might have to be ordered online - I get both directly from my naturopathic doc. The Hemp rub I bought here in Ocracoke. If you'd like I could buy a tube and mail it to you.
I have not heard of these, but sure, if it's not too pricey, I'm game for the hemp rub.
Full disclosure - what I've been using is: stretches and heat on off days, these plus Icy Hot and "granny like" support socks on practice days. After practice I ice (if there's time) and I was using "Golden Star" ointment (kind of a Russian Tiger Balm) sample my coach provided until I used it up.

Combined, they seem to be working.
