Hi There are three major condition which affects calf muscles. If you have lower back pain it may be due to nerve root compressing supplying the calf muscles. Other reason is calcium deficiency....you may get investigated for vitamin d and calcium levels and take morning sunlight and milk. The other condition is vericose vein. For thar you have to do colour doppler venous. Consult orthopaedic an vascular surgeon respectively. Get well soon. Thank you.
