Painful Shin

So I started running again at the beginning of last month after not doing it for a month and I have developed pain in my left leg where my shin is. The pain is constantly there even when I'm not doing anything, has anyone else ever had this pain? I don't really know what to do.

Sounds like shin splints, very common in runners. Loads of info online if you google it. Good luck!
