Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

Since when did you develop this pain?

Did you hurt yourself?

Does the pain radiate from the lower back region to the leg?

There are multitude of causes for leg pain.

I can advise you an effective medication to relieve your pain. Take Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for 5 days after meals and Tablet Rabeprazole twice a day for 5 days before meals. Keep the limb elevated. Apply warm packs to the affected regions. Apply Volini gel to the painful regions.

Please do answer the above questions for me to be in a better position to help you.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
