A member asked:
Sudden localized right leg pain. slight worsening. no injury. very tender and painful when walking. is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely muscle: What where the circumstances when the pain started? Anything palpable? Any leg swelling? If pain feels only when walking it's most likely muscular/tendon/ligament in origin. Where exactly right leg? Is it around a joint? Usually rest suffices for minor muscle aches. If the pain persists over a couple of days would suggest seeing your physician.
