Was there a previous injury to your
leg? Do you feel it during walking and relieved by resting?
Leg pain can be due to a muscle cramp, an injury, atherosclerosis that blocks blood flow in the arteries, blood clot from prolonged bed rest, infection of the bone, inflammation of the leg joints by arthritis or gout, varicose veins, or nerve damage due to diabetes, smoking or alcohol drinking.
Try to rest as much as possible and elevate your leg.
