Shin splints

Has anyone suffered with shin splints before? I’ve been getting really bad pain in my lower leg every morning when I get on the tube (its about a 10min walk). Was totally confused and feeling a bit silly because it seemed like a cramp type pain which for a 10min walk just seemed ridiculous and implies I’m really unfit! But then I described to OH and he suggested it could be shin splints... reading up on it it does sound very similar but it seems its mostly runners/athletes who suffer. If you have had it, what did you do to sort it? GP? Podiatrist? Insoles?

OH had it when he was a postman. Went to the GP and anti-inlammatories and a bit of rest sorted him out.

I get pains when I try and run, sometimes these feel like they are actually my shins splitting (!) and at other times the pain is more like anterior compartment syndrome...
