Help!! Painful shins

I’m currently on W6 and really enjoying it but sadly over my last few runs I’ve developed nasty shin pain. It’s fine during the run but once I slow down to a walk it’s agony. The pain goes all the way down the inside of my right shin. Is that shin splints? I’m putting an ice pack on when I get back from runs and taking an extra day off in between to rest it. Any help/advice would be most welcome! Thanks 😬
