Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The intense pain on the top of the leg that you are feeling can be due to a pulled tendon or a muscle spasm. A swollen artery is usually associated with a visible swelling. However a direct examination by an orthopedician can help in detecting the exact cause. The pain can reduce with rest, hot compress and mild pain killers.
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.
Regards.
