Most probable problem you are dealing with is related to spine. Sudden weight lifting or bending can cause disc prolapse, which compress nerve of the legs. An MRI is helpful to diagnose this condition. Mean while you take bed rest, try to Keep your knee in bend position during sleeping. Avoid bending forward or weight lifting.
