Brief Answer:
Detail below.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Most leg pain results from wear and tear, overuse, or injuries in joints or bones or in muscles, ligaments, tendons or other soft tissues. Some types of leg pain can be traced to problems in your lower spine. Leg pain can also be caused by blood clots, varicose veins or poor circulation.
So kindly give me detail about pain whether it is sharp, dull, numbing, tingling, burning, radiating, or aching.
Painkillers will not improve leg cramps, because they start suddenly, but stretching and massaging the muscle may help.

To relieve the pain when cramps occur:

Hold the toe and pull it up towards the body, while straightening the leg.
Walk around on heels until the cramp eases off.

To prevent cramps:

Always stretch and warm up before and after exercising.
Avoid dehydration by drinking 8 to 12 glasses of water a day.
Regularly stretch and massage the legs.

I hope this answers your query.
