Hello,
If this is a single episode then it is most likely due to muscle cramps due to stress to the joint and muscles by standing for long hours.
Relax your muscles, do not stand for a long time, maintain good body posture and wear flat heels.
Continue vitamins. Analgesic for a couple of days could be my advice.
