shin splints...
I have shin splints, and have had them since I was 6 yrs. old. There is nothing really that you can do, that I know of, to treat them. You will just have to go easy on whatever exercises that you are doing (I am guessing that it is cardio), and try to work around them. What does help though, is stretching them like this:
Stretch--- Put knees and top of feet on ground and lean backwards. This stretches the front of your shins as well as your quads.
I am no scientist and have not looked up anything as what could be done.. but I played soccer since I was 6 yrs. old and as I played through high school I found that it lessened the pain by doing that before I ran or exercised.
Thats the best advise I can give you man.

You can eliminate shin splints by developing the muscle structure in front of the shin. One execise for this involves placing a light dumbell across your toes and while planting your heel on the floor lifting your toes up towards your knee. Sounds odd but it works.
Okay here's a few tip from a guy that used to have shin splits.
First week.
Sit in a chair, and force your toes toward your head, while keeping your heel on the floor. Do this until you feel like your shins are going to bust. Try to do this as many times as possable, after every set strech your shins out.
Take the weekend off.
Second week.
Get a small bucket with a handle. Put a light weight, water or sand in the bottom of the bucket...something to add a litte bit of weight. Now sit on a counter or some place where your leg hangs. Now place the handle of the bucket on the edge of your foot and bring the toe toward your head.
Basically yout building the muscles in the shin, this regimate helped me a ton. I could only run for maybe a mile if I was luckly before my shins would start to kill me. Now I'm up to 5 miles a day, no problems.
Also if you use a precore or elipitcal trainer instead a treadmill you don't have to worry about shin spilts

Here's some stuff you could do for the shin (tibialis anterior):
