Welcome to HCM.
Severe leg pain might be due to multivitamin,calcium deficiency.
You have to take B12,folic acid,calcium,minerals,L-carnitine,zinc,magnesium,protein milk powder and other supplement.
Otherwise take nsaid to subside pain.
Local application of nsaid gel will be helpful.
Drink more water.
You can drink dextrose,zinc,vitamin-c powder with water,if you not diabetic.
Consult your doctor for further investigations,diagnosis and proper medications.
