What Causes Pain In The Calf Muscles?
My father is 85 June 1st and has had some extreme pain in the calf muscles off and on since dec. 2013. He has had some relief thru chiropractic treatment but it continues. he told me today he had some blood tests done?? he has always been very active and worked close to 40 hrs. a week until he was 81. any clues on the cause of his pain?

since you haven't mentioned the blood test reports or any other medical reports especially concerning his heart,so,he MIGHT be having restless leg syndrome.putting legs in Luke warm water bath with epsom salt in it and wearing compression bandage will provide some relief.doing ankle toe movement as much as possible especially when resting,toe raises with hand support will also help to ease pain
