Landing on your heels causes shin splints. When you land on your heel, the next muscle to balance your body is your shin. So when you land on your feet (from jumping, walking, etc) make sure your toes/ball of foot hit first, as your calf muscle (better suited for impact than your shin) will be used to balance.

The only way I got rid of it was to have it properly diagnosed and the doctor gave me an anti-inflammatory shot. Give it some rest to see if it goes away. If it won't, go see a doc. RIP 2004-2007
