I walked around all day yesterday and mostly today, and my shins feel like they have knives stabbed in them, any idea?

Shin Splints!: Sounds like you may be having shin splints. Here are some helpful things you can do: rest your body. Ice your shin to ease pain and swelling. Anti-inflammatory painkillers. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs will help with pain and swelling. Arch supports for your shoes. Range-of-motion exercises. Neoprene sleeve to support and warm your leg. Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles in shin.
