What Could Cause Cramp Like Pain On The Left Calf?
Hi I have pains in my left calf. I used to wake up in the night time with terrible cramp and my legs would be sore for a couple of days but the last couple of weeks, just on the left hand side, I have been getting cramp like pain when I climb stairs, when walking, even when sitting down. Not all the time but will come on suddenly for no apparent reason.

Hope this helps.
