Do I Need To See Doctor As My Right Leg Pain When I Am Standing Still?

I have been on Butrans for two weeks. I am now having pain in my legs, especially my right. The pain is centered on my upper calf and behind the knee. It gets worse if I am standing still in one place (like washing dishes). Do I need to try to go see my doctor today?

first of all i would like to know why you started butrans?
Butrans as such does not cause such type of pain. though this type of pain usually occurs in osteoarthritis of the knee. for that you may take medicine like aceclofenac 200 mg twice daily till you see the doctor. but if the pain does not subside in 2-3 days, try seeking an earlier appointment.
