Daily my legs hurt near my shin.. some days are worse then others. it feels like a very hot sharp needle that makes me rest while walking?

Legs or back?: Shin pain with walking, that gets better with rest can come from the shins themselves (for example shin splints) or from the lower back (lunar stenosis). Other less common causes (including blood flow and pressure in the muscles) are also possible. Your primary care doc can point you in the right direction.
