Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain you have is likely to be due to muscle tear. You need adequate rest till the injury heals up completely. Avoid weight bearing on the leg, do keep the leg elevated and take a mild pain killer after doing icing in the area.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
