How To Treat The Pain In The Calves?
My legs hurt to the touch. My calves are painful, mostly at bedtime. Lately I noticed I am having difficulty walking sometimes, it feels like I want to collapse. I had fallen a year and a half ago and tore the menicus in both knees, had arthroscopic surgery on both one in January and the other in March.

thanks for using HCM.
your history of fall & meniscal injury,with arthroscopic surgery,with pain full calf muscles shows you are more likely suffering from deep vein thrombosis.
Please go forward with bilateral lower limb (arterial & venous doppler) to rule out the possible causes
keep the limbs elevated while at rest( at least for 30 degrees)
use of DVT stockings & crepe bandage will be of great help.
please meet a vascular surgeon or general surgeon
take care
