Hello,
The pain in the left leg at your age can be due to muscle cramps or osteoporosis. In case it is associated with thrombosis then it is associated with extreme pain and swelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
