Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
From the description of your symptoms, its very clear that you have developed SHIN SPLINTS. This usually happens as a result of unaccustomed vigorous physical activity or overuse.
These shin splints heal on their own spontaneously. Follow the below measures -
* adequate rest to the inflammed part
* Ice packing of the involved area till the pain subsides
* analgesic medicines like advil or aleve
* moist heat fomentation to relax the taut muscles
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
