Hi baci - As I read your comments the first thing that came to mind was possible sciatic nerve pain because you said only one leg was affected and that you work on the computer a lot/spend a lot of time sitting. Here's the definition:

Sciatica is irritation of the sciatic nerve that passes down the back of each thigh.

The sciatic nerve arises from the lower spine on either side and travels deep in the pelvis to the lower buttocks. From there, it passes along the back of each upper leg and divides at the knee into branches that go to the feet.

Sciatica typically causes pain that shoots down the back of one thigh or buttock. Sciatica pain is often burning, tingling, or numbness on one side of the leg. It may also be pain present on one side of the buttocks that worsens when seated for a long time.

Please take a look at the information on our sciatic nerve page, and let us know what you think.
