So basically you should lean against the wall, move your feet 10 inches in front and lift the foot al the way up and down - do that 10 to 15 reps 3 sets.
You talkin about leaning with my back against the wall, or with the wall in front of me?and when you say 'lift the foot', i assume you just mean the front of my foot (not the heel)?

do you have flat feet?
Maybe a little. I've had surgery done on my left foot, which is where most of this trouble is originating, to lengthen my calf muscles and take pressure off the ball of my foot. I'm pretty sure that improved my arch, on that side at least.

you havent recently gotten hit or kicked really hard in the shin, have you?
Nope. But in retrospect, the whole shin splint problem began after I took a hard fall on my shins while running.... was running on train tracks a few years ago, tried to take a risky leap across a gap in the ballast, landed wrong, and hit my shins real bad. At first, thought the pain was just from the fall, but then it kept recurring...
