If you are unable to put weight on the affected limb it might be something more than just a stretch. You may need physical examination by an orthopedic surgeon in person. By leg, in orthopedics, we understand the area between the knee and ankle. Usual injury in this region is mainly at the calf, so it may be a gastro-soleus complex injury. As suggested earlier rest to the part, cold fomentation etc. may help. Do not do local spray, ointments, gel application etc. and no massage please. That may aggravate the problem. Proper warming up and cooling down before any sporting activity is the key to avoiding such injuries. If you don't feel better in a day or 2 kindly consult your doctor in person.
Next Steps
Ice packs 3-4 times a day Rest Any activity that increases pain is not to be done.
Health Tips
Do not use Gels & sprays No massage
