This kind of pain is often due to muscle fatigue, vitamin D or calcium deficiency, or poor blood circulation. Since it gets better with massage, it’s most likely muscular. Try to stay hydrated, do gentle leg stretches, and avoid sitting or standing too long at one place.
You can also get your vitamin D, calcium, and B12 levels checked.
If the pain doesn’t improve in a few days or gets worse while walking, it’s better to see a doctor and get a leg Doppler test done to rule out any circulation issue.
Next Steps
1. Get Vitamin D, Calcium, and Vitamin B12 levels checked.
2. If pain increases with walking or at night, consult a physician and ask for a leg Doppler to rule out circulation problems.
3. if you feel tingling, numbness, or weakness, get a neurological evaluation too.
Health Tips
stay well-hydrated — drink 2–3 liters of water daily.
include milk, curd, paneer, and sunlight exposure for calcium & vitamin D.
do gentle calf stretches twice daily and walk slowly for 15–20 minutes.
avoid standing or sitting in one position for too long.
continue light leg massage or apply a warm compress if it gives relief.
Avoid overexertion, especially if your job involves long hours on your feet.

It could range from something simple like low calcium levels to conditions that require medical attention, such as circulation issues. A proper consultation and examination are recommended to identify the exact cause and ensure appropriate management.
