What kind of work you do - this information is necessary to assess whether you can have a stress fracture or not. However, if you have a doubt you can get a X-ray done of both the legs to clarify your doubt. If fracture is not there then the possibility of muscle spasm can also be there for which you should get a muscle relaxant and apply it locally.
