Can be myalgia or infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A sudden stabbing pain in the leg can happen due to a muscle spasm, muscle ischaemia or an infection. This needs a direct examination and few tests to find out the exact cause. Till then you can take a mild pain killer with an oral muscle relaxant. Doing a hot compress will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
