I am a 34-year-old male experiencing a slight pain in my left shin for about two months. The pain is noticeable when I walk or move my foot in certain directions while sitting. It feels like a pushing or tight pain slightly outside my shin bone. Some days it is worse, and other days it is not present at all. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I've been sick with a stomach illness for several days, experiencing loss of appetite, lower back pain, white stools, and a 5-pound weight loss over two weeks. I had a slight fever for the first two days, and the stomach pain was sudden and painful, mainly in the upper and lower abdomen. I haven't taken any medication and am not on any. I'm concerned about the weight loss, white stools, and recent episodes of extreme fatigue and almost passing out at work. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
