OTC drugs
If none of these home remedies would relieve your leg pain, then consider purchasing some OTC drugs such as anti-inflammatories or painkillers. Advil or ibuprofen is effective in reducing inflammation, while Tylenol or acetaminophen can control general pain. However, both options are just short-term treatment for your leg discomfort. Make sure to read instructions carefully and take the right dosages. In most non-serious cases such as cramps, bruises, sprains or strains, medication won’t be necessary for more than several days. Make sure to talk with your doctor before taking to avoid any side effects. [8]
