Hi
Common causes for pain in the leg are
Periperal neuropathy in case of diabetics
Varicose veins
If you are diabetic then check the sugar levels and ensure it is under control as diabetes one of the complication is neurtopathy
Varicose veins or venous problems are common in smokers and it can happen in non smokers also
Take Vitamin E tablets and do meditation as per your age (if 45-45 minutes meditation) as this will relieve stress and improves blood circulation to the lower limbs
Use ICE and Warm materials for your legs for few minutes
Wish You Good Health
Regards
