That’s what I thought. I believe it is more aptly called medial tibial stress syndrome.
The good news is that there are some ankle stretches that you can do to strengthen the lower part of your legs. I had the same problem and now I have been able to control my splints to a very good level. When done routinely this will also help restore the flexibility and strength; however don’t ever do it wrong, you could cause more damage since ankle joint is a fragile part of your body.
Here is a link for you which talks about shin splints and exercises. If you don’t know what few terms (such as dorsiflex and plantar flex, google or youtube search them).
