Sounds like what you are describing are shin splints. Assuming that its actually the muscles that are sore and not the result of a stress fracture, there are several things to look at.
One option is anti inflamatories. I've used them as I have this same problem due to an extensive amount of walking/strain that is put on certain muscle groups due to rifle shooting. For a non medicinal alternative and immediate relief, use ice and lots of it.
How are your feet? Having flat feet or the wrong set of shoes will DRASTICALLY increase the pain of shin splints, so a set of new shoes or an orthopedic insert may be in order.
Taping the shins will also decrease the pain dramatically, but should not be used as a permanent mask to cover up an ongoing medical condition. Good luck!
