What Causes Painful Calf And Shin?

My walking partner (77 Yrs old) has recently been experiencing shin and calf pain during our a.m.
two mile walks. She describes the pain as dull/achy. We stop when it becomes acute and after
a short rest she improves. She reports that after walking the pain is significantly diminished or
gone. She does not have swelling or discoloration. Due to weather we have missed about 2 weeks
of our daily walking routine.
