Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms you have are likely to be due to a muscle spasm. You need to give adequate rest to your leg and avoid weight bearing. Continue with the medicines you are taking. The symptoms will improve in 4-6 days.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
