Do I have shin splints?
I take ballet classes everyday pretty much for the whole day. I go to a pre-professional Russian taught Vagonova school and for our summer intensive, professionals from Bolshoi and Kirov/Mariinsky came to teach.
During class, my right shin bone started hurting really bad and it's getting a tiny bit better, but it hurts painfully every time I touch it.
First of all, is this a shin splint? If so, what are the causes and fixes to them?
Thank you in advance :)

Sounds like it to me. Here's how to release a shin splint:
Shin splints:
Right leg. Place your right leg on your lap and place both hands side by side on the lower leg, slightly above the ball of your foot. Press in next to the bone with all fingers and tightly hold the pressure there. Relax the rest of your body. After 30 seconds, slowly extend your toes down as far as they go, release the pressure, but continue holding the toes extended for another 30 seconds. Then reverse everything and do the other leg.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
