Hi. I have sharp, sudden pains in my left leg (only) that started a few hours ago after doing some work around the house.

I have taken 2 Aleve 30 minutes ago. The pain has subsided some, but still comes back as a quick, sharp pain down my left, back upper leg.

I am fit and walk and swim regularly. I am familiar with muscle strain, but not with nerve pain like this (sharp, down left leg only). Stops if I stand or walk around slowly.

Have not tried a warm bath. Have not tried icing it.
