Brief Answer:
Check your vit B12 and Vit D 3 levels.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have read your query.
Calf pain can be reduced by
Massaging the leg muscle with your hands or oil
Drinking plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration
Stretching your leg muscles or riding a stationary cycle.
Taking diet rich in calcium and potassium or oral supplements of the same
Check your vit B12 and Vit D 3 levels.
Till time, you can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
Most probable reason for your symptoms could be postural problem as you may be sitting for long time and working on computer/table for long time.
When such patient comes to my hospital we usually take x ray spine or if required MRI to see for any nerve compression.
Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
Some exercises which can be done after pain has reduced include- Spine extension exercises, Lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg.
Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inch off the ground and stay
Position for around 10 breathes.
Knee flexion and extension. Ankle rotation.
If no relief with these therapies then you need to investigate further.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
