G100%. See a doctor or physio. The physios in Spain are great! I've had shin splints a couple of times. Though it didn't stop me. I carry a foam roller to ease them a bit. I've used a frozen bottle of water in the past. Strapping from a physio...

However, I would book ahead in Santiago particularly if you want a private room. I remember the walking in...
