Rest: This kind of pain has many possible causes, but is probably from running or sports. Shin splints are common. Usually it will get better with rest, ice, elevation, and wrapping your leg with an ace wrap. Make sure to wear cushioned arch supports in your shoes when you are active in sports or running.

Many causes: It could be a stress fracture of the tibia, shin splints, or inflammation of the muscles (myositis). Rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medication may help. If it does not, i would have it x-rayed--you may need to wear a boot for a while...
