Shin,ankle pain: I assume that you have no recent injury or overuse from jogging,etc. If so, rest for a few days. If you have a tender spot in the shin, there could be a crack or stress fracture there. I recommend having a physician or orthopedic surgeon examine your leg and ankle. Any appropriate xrays or bone scan can then be ordered.
