Been experiencing some pretty intense pain after my past few workouts.. i only been running about 1.5 miles each run.

The pain is like in my knee caps and down my whole front inner shin.

My boyfriend keeps telling me 'no pain no gain' but idk i dont feel like this is workout soreness. Like its not sore at all its painful...

Im asking if anybody thinks i have shin splits or i strained my muscle or have small muscle tears? And also what is the difference between them all? 😥
