Hi there,

Pain in your legs is unlikely to be related to your bladder infection. I would first make sure your bladder infection is adequately treated with at least 3 days of oral antibiotics. In terms of the pain in your legs, there are many different causes.

If you don't have any history of ulcers or kidney problems, I'd recommend taking ibuprofen for your leg pain, which will also help with inflammation in your bladder as well. You can take up to 800mg every 8 hours, but make sure to take this after eating.

I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.
