Not muscle pull, it comes with a strange felling, it occurs when you sit awkwardly on the leg and there is little or no supply of blood to it, so on getting up you will find it a little difficult to put your foot on the ground, after a while it dissapears. Sometimes it can be curred by putting the foot in water.
