shin splints

I have been having sharp pains in my shins. It is worse when I point my toe towards my knee and it also hurts in my foot when I lift my toes. I was wondering what causes that and how I would prevent it. I don't know if there is a stretch or something else. I happens most when I walk a lot or play basketball or do anything physically active with my legs. Thank you very much.
