Hi,
According to me there may be stretch or damage to your nerve. If your nerve which supplies to your leg have stretched then I think you need to do exercise and take medicines. It may recover within 6-12 months. But if it does not recover then you need to do MRI and NCV studies and may need nerve or tendon transfer.
Thank you. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
