When an animal is in pain, their main relief is to chew and distract themselves from their pain. It irriates them, therefore chewing their leg is a great plan in their eyes. This may be beacuse of the lenght of their teeth, a broken bone (they're bones are extremely fragile" or a more serious matter. If I were you I'd take your hamster to a veteranary clinic or an animal hospital. This could lead to much more than you think.
