Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
It might be normal.
Get some proper rest and do some stretching exercises daily.
The pain should go away.
If it still persists, get it checked out by a orthopedician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.

Hello there...... If you have leg pain from cramps or overuse, take these steps first:
Rest as much as possible.Elevate your leg....Apply ice for up to 15 minutes. Do this 4 times per day, more often for the first few days....Gently stretch and massage cramping muscles....Take over-the-counter pain medicines....
Other treatment options will depend on the cause of your leg pain..... Consult Orthopedician.....
