Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case. Calf can be due to muscle or nerve related causes. It can be due to below mentioned causes.
1.Low serum B 12
2.Thyroid,Diabetes or knee arthritis
3. Nerve compression in the spine.
So I would recommend you to get blood investigations to check if you have low vitamins or any other metabolic causes of neuropathy.
If there is no such causes than you can get spine x ray to see if there is lumbar spondylitis.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other follow up questions.
thanks
