Answers:

Sounds like you just have shin splints, it's a very common condition. It's when the muscles and tendons around your shins and lower leg become stressed while active.

I get them myself, I usually run about 3 miles everyother day. There isn't much you can do other than stretch and work through the pain, eventually they'll go away or you'll get used to the pain.

However if it gets to the point where the pain continues after you're finished working out, running, etc. And it becomes painful to walk, it could be a sign of a stress fracture, in which case you should go to a doctor imediately.
