HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such limping and pain could be due to muscular spasm or sciatica, in either case it can be well treated with "Tab Chlorzoxazone with Diclofenac" once in day, if the symptoms does not improved then it need to be investigated, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
