Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
For the pain in your leg you need to take oral muscle relaxant tablets along with a pain killer like Thiocolchicoside 8mg plus diclofenac potassiuum 50 mg twice daily. Hot fomentation with local muscle relaxant ointment will also help.

My doctor in Thailand did prescribe me with muscle relaxant and pain killers. And after about 2 weeks, the pain goes away and the muscles become quite soft. But after a couple of weeks or months, the pain is back and the muscles become as hard as a rock and the shooting pain comes back again. Somehow my doctor does not care about the shooting pain that I have, which is my real concern. Do I have to keep on taking muscle relaxant and pain killers for life? I'm only 34...
