Shin Splint or Stress Fracture?

Hi,

I am 20 years old and I've recently noticed pain in my lower leg. I had the pain before but it's never been nothing long term like it is now. It is in about a 2-3 inch area above the ankle on the medical part. I am an avid basketball player and a runner also. I've been staying off of my feet for about a week now but its hurting to walk even. Sometimes the pain gets so bad it travels into my ankle & my leg and both swell. I've tried resting it and icing but its not helping. How would you tape this or is there some kind of a brace?
