Hi John
You may be getting shinsplints.
See http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/cybertherapist/front/lowerleg/shinsplints.htm
Let your Doctor or a physiotherapist have a look. You may have good shoes but still an abnormal step, or you may be doing too much too soon. They also need to teach you how to stretch before exercising.
