Its more than likely nerve pain because the sciatic nerve is being squeazed. I have same thing in both legs and both wrists.I take 600 mg of GABAPENTIN 3 or four times a day and it is a huge relief. this is a generic drug and cheap. for me its free but it depends on your insurance.This is not to be mistaken for medical advice its just a suggestion since you asked. You have nothing to loose by trying it but probably everything to gain Good Luck
