Could it be shin splints? I know that's the general area for them, though I've never had them myself.

Shin splits?

shin splints are when the muscle starts ripping from your shin bone and it causes your shin to hurt to the touch on the inside of your leg where you shin is.

I don't think it sounds like shin splints.

They don't generally hurt while doing a clipper. Unless it was your support leg that hurt. Was it your support leg? Or was it the leg performing the stall?

Flipsider has a page that discusses shin splints and recovery. Check it out-- if you do have shin splints, you'll be glad you did (visit the page, not have the splints).
