Hi welcome to health care magic. Thanks for your query. After going through your history I am in opinion that you have stress fracture of leg bone.To confirm please visit orthopaedician and have an XRay of leg get done. Now you should avoid running , take rest, analgesics. If fracture confirmed on XRay than continue rest plaster or crepe as per requirement (as advised by orthopaedician).I hope your query get solved. Thanks.
