Suggest Remedy For Tightening Of Calf Muscles
I played basketball for an hour but then we had a break for 20 min while we listened to a speaker. I presumed playing and then started to feel my calf muscle tighten and I stopped. Not sure if this is a cramp or something else? Calf is still tight after playing 2 hours ago and had iced my calf.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to overuse of the muscles.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
I also suggest continuing using cold compresses in the area of pain.
I recommend resting the muscles for a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
