 Hello,
Pain at the medial shin could be shin splints (where the posterior tibialis connects to the tibia and suffer microtrauma).
I would need to get more history to suggest more accurate diagnosis.
Was there trauma, how long has the pain been there, is there swellling, what makes it worse, is the pain constant, gradual versus sudden onset, etc.
These questions help point to a specific diagnosis.
In any case, a visit to the family physician may be in order.
Take care.

Hello,
Your description enhances my suspicion of shin splints but have a doc check it out to get an accurate diagnosis.
Take care.
