See your GP.

As Pat says see the GP but until you get an appointment try icing the area. Bag of frozen peas will do. 15 minutes on 45 mins off and rest with the leg up as much as possible. When you damage it the blood rushes to that area so putting the leg up will help to take the blood back. Icing reduces inflammation and swelling.

Nothing. Had that playing football in my younger days. Very painful and goes in a few hours. If it persists go to A&E for xray to see if you have a stress fracture.

Hope this is useful.
