Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a cramp like feeling in my left calf for about 2 days. It came on feeling as just tightness not immediate like a cramp. When I am sitting on the couch with my leg bent there is relief. As soon as I stand up whether I put weight on it or not it begins to feel sharp pain like a cramp. I have attempted elevation and heat but no relief. Can you give me insight on a possible diagnosis?
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given by you is suggestive of muscular problem and the most likely cause would be calf muscle spasm this muscle vulnerable to spasm, keep the leg in little bend position from the knee joint and you can take any analgesic and muscle relaxant, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
