It may be due to shin splints?
Avoid running /walking /playing on cemented surface.
Or get best quality cushion shoes during physical workout.
Avoid over strain in ankle and knees like jumping.
Keep doing icing but not more than 10 minutes if ice pieces.
Do stretching after running and strengthening before workout.
If you wanted some more for exercises and all please consult personally.
