Shin Splints.: If this was the first and only time you ever experienced this leg pain, then it could simply be that you slept with your foot, ankle or leg in a strange and stressing position. Unless you have caused a more serious injury, some heat and rest should make the leg feel better. Of course, if it returns or gets worst, then it's to the doctor you go.
