Likely not: It depends your age and if it persists, you need a work-up the cause.

Could be...: Shin pain (aka "shin splint") may come from medial tibial stress syndrome (mtss), stress fractures, or compartment syndrome. Identifying the underlying reason for your pain can then help with a specific plan of care. Treatments usually consist of rest, stretching, ice, massage, or orthotics. (drmarkgalland.Com).
