Severe leg pain that prevents walking requires a medical evaluation to find the exact cause, such as a nerve issue, muscle strain, or blood flow changes. For temporary relief, you can take over-the-counter generic acetaminophen (paracetamol) or ibuprofen, provided you have no health conditions preventing their use. However, because your mobility is affected, please consult a doctor or visit an urgent care clinic promptly for a proper diagnosis and targeted treatment. Meanwhile, rest your leg, elevate it comfortably, and avoid putting heavy weight on it until you have been evaluated by a healthcare professional.
