Shin pain is common in running with beginners.
Were you into sports or exercise earlier?
You should start from brisk walking if you are a beginner. Then gradually increase in to slow jogging with walking, then after few days of practice graduate to fast jogging and finally running.
Next Steps
You should give ice pack for 15minutes.
You should do proper warming up and cool down every day before starting work out.
You should use good running shoes.
You can use Volini gel or spray provided you are not allergic.
Health Tips
If pain persists or aggrevates you need to consult a Physiotherapist or Orthopaedist for further evaluation and treatment either in person or through video call.

With shin issues,
A physiotherapist will check your arches, hip rotation, foot mobility, calf length, glut strength and core stability.
These need to be done, so that you would not have similar issues later.
With current inflammation use ice 15 minus, 3 times per day with ice towel wrapped.
Stretch your calf 15 to 30 sec hold for 5 reps both sides 3 times a day. Learn stretches of other leg muscles too.
You must visit a physiotherapist for specific assessment and treatment.

Hi,
New runners are prone to develop this issue due to the following reasons :
- low strength in the muscles that control the ankle in the front and the sides
- tight muscles around the ankle
- worn out shoes or ill fit shoes
- inactive glute muscles which stabilize the hip during running
Next Steps
active rest and rehab for a couple of weeks will surely improve your running pattern and mechanics.
consult for further assistance!
