You need to stop playing for few days

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Shin pain suggests stress on bones. Kindly avoid sports and long walks/runs for 7 to 10 days. This is the best medicine.

Among pain medicines, try ibuprofen 200 mg 2 times a day. If it doesn't help then aceclofenac (stronger pain medicine) will be recommended.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
