Brief Answer:
Can be due to osteoporosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the front of the leg that you have can be related to osteoporosis of the bones ( age related) or due to shin splints. This needs proper rest, mild pain killers and calcium supplements to take care of these mild symptoms. You can also do a hot compress and apply a local analgesic gel for relief.
In case the pain is persistent then do consult your orthopedician for a direct examination and stronger prescription medicines.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
