Leg Ache for last 2 weeks
It started out with a twitched nerve, I had while puking. I had some painkillers and it got better in a week or so. After that, I started going out on jobs for a week or so. Then one day I had some slight back ache so I skipped the jog. In the evening I had a meeting so had to sit on chair for 2 hrs straight. And then the pain escalated to unbearable point. Then I took meds and it got better in 4-5 days however I found that I have a leg ache. It was there since the second back ache started.
I thought it might be cramps from working out but it's not improving. Whenever I have to sit or get up it aches. Mostly in left buttock and ankle, it feels like needle.

It would be better to go for a neurology consultation or get physiotherapy for lower back pain. The needle like sensation and pain is likely to get resolved by physiotherapy but still neurological opinion is a must to rule out any serious damage to the underlying structures.
Next Steps
rest
apply cold compress to areas which are having pain
do moderate stretching exercises at home ( learn them from a physiotherapist or occupational therapist)
Health Tips
avoid bending
lifting heavy weight
or squatting
