Hello and welcome to HCM,
What is the nature of pain in legs?
Does the pain radiate from ovary region to legs or the pain in lower abdomen and legs diffuse and isolated.
A radiating pain from lower abdomen to the legs is suggestive of nerve related problem.
Compression or nerve commonly leads to radiation of pain from site of origin to the area where it supplies.
In your case the nerve could be arising from the spine and radiated down to the legs.
However, if the pain is diffuse and there is no radiation, other causes have to looked for.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment, investigations and thus management.

Thanks and take care
