You are suffering from what is known as shin splints. This is caused by running on hard surfaces. What happens is the muscle in your shins begins to seperate from your shin bone causing the pain. I used to get these when I ran track in highschool. What we did is take a pair of support pantyhose and cut the feet out and cut enough to only cover the area just below the calf and up to just under the knee. Then put the panty hose on your shins and wrab with an ace bandage. This gives you support and the shin splints will heal. use this everytime you run and you'll not have as much problem from shin splints.

Shins - see a chiropractor so you do not end up with shin splints.
other - Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas (natural muscle relaxers) daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, (if this does not do it you probably need a chiropractor as well) you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Do good stretching purely before working. examine your shoes for suitable padding and if not good sufficient upload a heel cup with pad or get new shoes. examine your arches and make sure in addition they at the instant are not fallen or have insufficient help interior the shoe. additionally examine your working stance and make sure you're doing an excellent "heel to toe" flow consisting of your foot on an identical time as working. After working prepare ice to the hurting section and supply it relax. Shin splint harm plenty yet could be dealt with honestly in case you're prudent.
