It's called shin splints
The pain is typically localised to the front of your legs midway down and below
There is a periosteal reaction around that zone which is what causes a bony pain
Needless to worry it will settle down in couple of weeks with anti inflammatory meds and avoid high impact sports ans long distance running for a while or so
Having said that keep yourself moving and get some sun each day
Good luck
Next Steps
continue ur meds
Health Tips
engage in walks in the morning typically an hour after sunrise
