Hello,

Sudden pain in the leg may be due to sciatica or hip osteoarthritis or lumbar spondylosis with radiculopathy. Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet. Attract twice a day for five days. Use tablet Pregabalin once daily for five days.

Please get it done X-ray of lumbar spine and hip joint, then consult your orthopedician/neurophysician they will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
