Hello,
Please get one x-ray of your leg done to check whether your plates are in places or it has broken due to unnoticed trivial trauma.
There could be some minor spasm of muscles which can be treated with NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or muscle relaxant like Baclofen, but if it has broken or something, it has to be recharged.
So kindly get an x-ray done and come for the follow-up with reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
