Are you icing and stretching? Make sure shin pain is completely gone before you run again. Well done to your wife.

Hi princess I'm not icing. But am doing a good warmup and stretching b4 starting my run. My pain is starting after about 3mins of running. It does stop hurting when I stop running

Ice them and don't stretch before your run. Continue warming up well and stretch afterwards. Take a look at this.
