Need more info : Did you injure the leg? When did this start and what were you doing. The best thing is to see doctor give a good history. Have your exam. Get a diagnosis and get the problem resolved for you

Leg: Sounds like sciatica of some type. At 25 this could be buldging disc, but could be from pyriformis spasm or other irritation to sciatic nerve. NSAID and excercise.
