How much weight do you put in the stirrups?  You might also be 
developing a touch of arthritis or tendonitis (depending on the pain) 
if your ankles are flexing a lot.  Keeping weight off the stirrups is 
good either way.  An old cowboy once pointed out that you should only 
be resting the weight of your foot on the stirrup, not the weight of 
your body.  Once I changed to that mode, I found my shin and knee 
issues disappeared, so it might work for you, too.
