What Causes Pain And Soreness In Calves?

My daughter is complaining that her calves on both legs are very sore and has not been doing any strenuous activities. When she applies pressure on her calves it hurts her. Didn t know if this should be a concern when she is usually an active person.

hi
thanks for posting in HCM
I have understand your concern

1.pain in both calves may be because of deep vein thrombosis , but bilaterally very rare and can be expected in congenital hypercoagulable states
2.may be because of obesity and reduced circulation of blood and accumulation of venous blood

I can suggest you to get
1.venous Doppler both calves
2.PT,INR
3.D.-dimer

meanwhile you can wear compression stockings , that ll improve circulation and prevent deep vein thrombosis

any further doubts, get back to me
thanks
