Suggest Remedy For Radiating Dull Pain From Outer Shin To Head Of The Foot

For the last week I ve been experiencing pain on the outer side of my shin bone. Irradiated into the top of my foot when I flex it towards the ceiling. It becomes a dull ache even when elevated. It does not keep me awake at night. It does however make me limp severly when I walk my dog. I would guess shin splints but I really did nothing to injure it nor do I excercise in excess. I am 5ft 114 lbs so I am carting about 10 lbs I ld like to get rid of. But walking briskly and cutting out certain foods are my course of action. I have been doing the walking for about 6 months. I m stumped!!!!
