Hi,
First, have you had any trauma recently ? - in your leg, foot or spinal cord
Next, do you suffer from any other disease? - diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, arthritis
If you do not have the above mentioned problems, then, sometimes, such pains are transitory and can be reversed on they own.
Some other times, it might be related to vitamins deficiencies.
I suggest to wait for a couple of days, if the pain is still troubling you, then discuss with your doctor for the above-mentioned options.
Meanwhile, you can have oral painkillers and topical analgesic cream together with local massages.
Hope it helped.
