Brief Answer:
First get yourself treated for pain

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

From the available description it seems you are not addicted to pain killers but it is due to pain you are taking these medications. (Correct me if I am wrong).

I also like to make it clear that 2 tablets in a month is not indicative of any addiction.

To get rid of these medications please get yourself treated for leg pain. First of all isolated leg pain may be indicative of vitamin deficiency so start multivitamin supplements which are easily available at most medical stores without prescription.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
