I have a pain in my leg for the past few hours (since I got up) It's just below my knee, kind of in my shin bone. My leg feels and looks the same (no heat, no swelling) - it reminds me of a growing pain that kids get. It's slightly worse when I am sitting down.
Any suggestions?

Well, I do not know your age, but I would say you may have pulled a muscle or torn a tendon or have a possible pinched nerve...
It depends on how painful the pain is...
Have you tried twisting your leg or foot in different directions?
Have you tried lifting your leg to see if you feel any pulling sensation?
Have you tried sitting in different positions to see if you are in more or less pain when you change your sitting?
You could try a very warm bath to sit in as hot as you can stand it to be...
Take some aspirin to help the pain...
Go buy a heat wrap that you either throw away after use or buy one of those kinds you heat up in a microwave and wrap your leg in that to relieve pain...
