Anybody ever used shin splint wraps?  Are they effective at all to ease the pain if you have to run, or just a gimmick?

I had shin splints twice in college.  Absolutely no running for 6-8 weeks was the only way that I could get them to heal.  I tried ice, NSAIDs, wraps, everything.

Seemed to help me when I was playing high school basketball.
I would roll up  a paper towel into a cylinder about the size of a magic marker and wrap it against the side of my shin where the pain was and it would allow me to get through a game without much pain.
