sounds like shin splints!.!. specially if your walking or running with your feet pointed outward!. what helped me with mine ( and how you can tell the difference i would imagine) is if when your experiencing the pain take two towel and put them in the dryer!.!.get them real hot then put them on your shins!.!. if it feels good down to the bones you got splints!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Probably shin splints, if the pain is bearable!.
I have them right now!. Take a wax cup, fill it with water and freeze it!. Once it's frozen, peel the wax from the cup and apply the ice to your leg - an ice massage!. It works and it feels great!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
