Maybe you have SHIN SPLINT but without proper assessment i cannot say that it is confirmed diagnosis.
You should go to physiotherapy clinic near you and get your assessment done. Till then apply ice over the painful area for 10 mins 2-3 times a day and take some muscle relaxants.

Are you a regular walker? Do you maintain correct BMI? If not strengthen your lower body muscles.
Start strengthening and stretching exercises gradually with proper guidance.
