Hi,
From the details you have provided, the most probable reasons could be dehydration, strain in the legs. Emergency is not required. Give enough rest. Take fluids. If pain is long term, then it is to be evaluated by lab investigations.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Phanindra Dulipala, Diabetologist
