Pay a visit to a good physio and have them set you straight. Keep it rested and wrapped tight in bandages with some ice over it, and do your PT wearing an ankle support or something similar.
I've had a niggling little pain in my lower shin for a few weeks, and decided to ask my Cross Country coach about it, and apparently I might be developing shin splints too. The stuff in the beginning of my post is what I was recommended to do.
I know my post doesn't answer your question, but I thought it might be some useful info anyway.
Best of luck.

Just see the Doc ASAP. Don't try and hide it or you will be in the cacky stuff.
If you've got so far they aint gonna just bin you. It's already cost Pusser a few quid to just to get you down to CTCRM. Your injury is common and can be treated so come clean before you really hurt yourself.
Ok so you may end up on the sidelines for a few weeks but if your dead set on earning that Green Lid just stick it out Lad. If not then just say no and then say a big hello to loservillle. PMA rules....OK?

It may well just be the fact that your bodies not as fit as you thought it was.
After three days at Deal I could hardly get out of me Pit in the morning! And there were blokes even worse off than me. One poor Herbert was in tears with the pain.
Lets face it but your going to use muscle groups you never knew you had! But over time your fitness will take care of itself and at the end of training your going to be like a heat Seeking Ferret just brimful of confidence in your bodies ability to Hack it.
Saying that mind if you really are worried then do visit the Doc but preferably the one at CTCRM and not a civvy one, because Pusser will not take to kindly to you staying away with a sicknote. In fact they will order you to return to CTCRM regardless of what a Civvy doctor says and writes about your health.
Your in the Armed Forces and you do what they say or your going to have a really bad time. As in the local Coppers knocking at your door to take you to the train station. Mum and Dad wont be able to help you anymore because you have signed on the dotted line and your the Corps property until such time as they decide otherwise.

Cheers for the advice, I'm going to have to visit sickbay when i get back as i think it's serious, even walking is a bit painful. I was just worried about them binning me.
Artist, God himself would struggle to stop me going back to CTC civvy street is boring as hell, easter leave has reminded me of why i joined up.

Crouchmaster, and a few other people in fact.
If your heads in the right place as in really wanting that Green Lid nay problems. Unfortunately some blokes get this idea that a visit to the Doc will solve the problem. As in make them nasty people go away.
Most tend to forget that they have left that nice Cushy World called Civvy Street, and are now in the Land of Do as your told!
Once me and a Marine were tasked to drive to Bolton from Plymouth to pick up a less than happy Nod who was on the sick. (to this day I cannot understand why CTCRM asked CDOLOGREGTRM to do the bloody job!?! but thats life innit)
We got to Bolton and reported to the local Cop Shop. They told us the location of the Nods parents house and off we went with a Cop car trailing our Landrover. As the Cpl I knocked on the door and in time it was answered by this lady. I politely asked if Recruit ******* was home. At this she burst out crying and from then on it all went to ratshi*t. I was in Half Lovats. (Green Lid, Stay Bright Capbadge, Lovat trousers and a Whooly Pully with me Royal Marines Commando flashes, Para Wings and me Cpl stripes) So she knew who I was and what I was. He had been AWOL for three weeks.
He was very very Poorly etc, etc, I said thats as maybe but I still have to take him back to CTCRM. Let me just say it was one of the most unpleasant episodes of my life. I felt like a member of the Press Gang in all honesty. Tears all round from his family.
But the fact was that he had signed on the dotted line so he had to do as he was told. So be warned gents. When you sign up life as you knew it goes out of the window. Your in the hands of the Corp. They aint Democratic and that is the thing you should take in before signing that little bit of Paper.
But you all know that anyway do you not? PC is not a word used in the Royal Marines. Obey is.
