Thanks....rest is good, but one would have difficulties finishing the
camino...right? What meds can be applied on the shin splints to releave the pain?

Wrong!  You hit on the problem - most pilgrims push too hard to complete.
That just exacerbates foot & leg injuries.  As another writer said - leave
yourself at least a couple of days for R & R.
Meds like analgesic remedies applied externally do very little for
tendonitis.  As I said anti-inflammatories like ibuprofine taken internally are better.
Don't pack them - they are available in Spain at farmacias if you need them.
