I'm currently recovering from shin splints myself... all I have done is taken ibuprofen everyday, stretch, and rest. To stretch, sit with your legs straight out in front of you and take a belt or your hands and pull your feet towards you. Another stretch is to stand at a wall or a door frame with your foot against the object in a diagonal matter, then lean forward.
It's my third week and my left leg is OK now but my right is still a bit painful. I should be back to my regular cardio habits within 1-3 days. The time for shin splints depends on how you treat it, but I imagine it's averaged from 3 to 4 weeks.
