Hi...

The pain what you complaining if is due to some trigger in calf muscle itself...which could be tight calf muscles..trigger points in calf muscles..
The causative factor could be load placed on calf muscle due to faulty foot allingment issues Luke hyperpronation... habituated walking in toes...etc.

If I were your treating doctor then..

I would like to remove the causative factor first to reduce the load on calf muscles..

Keep icing your calf muscles frequently...
Examine the foot to suggest you to have a arch support done...
Glute rehab to improve glute stability...like clamshell...bridging ...side lying lifting one leg up... squats...spine extension...exercises..
Gentle kneading over both calf muscles...

Hope this is helpful for you..
Kindly revert back in case you need further clarification...
