Leg pain - side effect of metronidazole gel?

Hello everyone..My most disconcerting symptom is leg pain that is primarily in my calves and hamstrings. It feels like my legs are partially cramping (like you would if you were to get a Charlie horse) but not the FULL cramping. Feeling. The pain, although dull, is still noticeable while laying down. It first occurred the last day of my treatment and is still here 3 days later. It is worse at night. Anyone have this side effect? If so, has it gone away and how long did it take to go away? Any advice would be great. Two other less bothersome symptoms were mild heartburn which occured sporadically and insomnia...I was advised to use 500mg of metronidazole vaginal gel twice daily for 5 days and completed this treatment. My infection cleared up, so I’m grateful for that. However just concerned about how long this leg pain will last and why it’s happening. Took 1,000 mg of magnesium before bed and hoping it helps....
