Hi XXXXXXX

It seems that you are having pain in your calves specially after walking. It can happen due to-
1. Calf muscle strain and tear - Usually due to overwork and overstretching of the muscles. Recent increase in leg exercises may cause these. Gradual increase in exercise and pain killers with mild symptoms.
2. Muscle ischaemia- There is acute pain associated with it.
3. Deep vein thrombosis- comes last among the list of probable diagnosis.
You may get the initial physical examination, relevant tests and treatment done under care of 'Orthopaedician'.

Hope this will helps you. Let me know if you have any more concern.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.
