Hey Steel 
Thanks. I’m glad you’re shin splint recovered, as I am (well on the most part anyway!)
Contrast showering IS pretty shocking, after coming home riding the bike in 0 Celsius, but… whatever. 
I can’t say I’m fine now, but it surely is getting better.
I’m also EMS’ing certain muscles that Jamirok suggested to me.
And because others here have similar issues: “Try to do EMS on right ham, right adductor and right medial gastrocnemius.
Try to do stretching for glute/piriformis and sole of the foot.”
I don’t have time to do ALL this, but I do my best and it helps.
