Detailed Answer:
Hello

Leg Muscle fatigue/cramps are very common my advise for you,

Take plenty of water, fluid intake will dilute toxins.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
You can do exercises like swimming, riding stationary bicycle, but do not overexert yourself.
Take potassium rich diet.
Hot and cold fomentation to leg.
You need to continue you medication for couple of month to see effects.
Add tab methylcobalamine 1500 once day or take Inj methylcobalamine.

As per your history it looks swelling of soft tissue or bony arising from ribs which can be benign swelling. Swelling can lead to shoulder pain.
As swelling is not reducing I will advise you to further investigate for the cause of swelling.
I will advise you to do MRI/CT scan and Ultrasound of the swelling.
If its collection or benign mass it can be excised.
You may need blood investigation.
Till time you can take anti-inflammatory and antibiotic if infection is suspected.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
