Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.
Most common causes for such type of pain are:
-peripheral vascular disease
-Deep vein thrombosis
-Sprain and strains
Suggest you to take tablet acetaminophen and elevate the leg with support. Give some rest to it rather walking around. If it still persists you need to consult your treating doctor for further investigations and treatment.
Hope this answers your query.
Regards,
Dr.Alekhya.
