What Causes Leg Pain While Standing?

Hi, I m a dancer and for the past five days my left lower leg has been extremely sore to stand on. The pain comes with pressure being put on my leg and goes with rest. However once I start dancing again the pain returns. It was the worst it has been all week today and i couldnt stand on it for half an hour, but then it went and cam back later but not as bad. What is this pain and how can i relieve it? Thanks

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
You seem to have injured your soft tissues in that region which generally take around 1-2 weeks time to heel,if given adequate rest,
The treatment you are taking is absolutely right,but i guess you are not taking sufficient rest.
Get an Xray done.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
But still,it will eventually heal.
Take analgesics,anti-inflammatory tablets,crepe bandage,rest.
Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
