I've started exercising and i have severe pain in my shins. what is going on? how can i make the pain go away? thank you!

Shin splints: You need to rest and apply ice to the anterior portion of your leg. You can still exercise to a degree but need to avoid incline training. If you run on a treadmill or outside, avoid uphill.
