Brief Answer:
Can be due to many causes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The extreme foot and leg pain could be due to low Vitamin D3 levels, excessive stress, decreased fluid intake, osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis or electrolyte imbalance.
This needs a few investigations and a direct examination by an orthopedician. You are already taking pain killers. Rest to the feet, elevation, regular massage and hot compress will help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
