Hi, I understand your situation. Start applying an ice pack. This will certainly help you, or immerse your leg in cold water and keep it. Pain will slowly subside. You can also rub some warm mustard oil on it. This will have a soothing effect. Don't use warm mustard oil and ice pack at the same time. Use anyone of them.
